Formscan By Tom Weekes - SORTUDO showed some high-class potential last season. Runner-up at the Dublin Racing Festival before finishing seventh in Cheltenham, he progressed further when bolting up at Fairyhouse in April and will be ready for today’s reappearance. Jalon D’oudairies missed last season but has himself shown smart ability in bumpers. A debut point-to-point winner and placed third in the 2024 Cheltenham Bumper, his absence is a concern although reappears at an encouraging time of the season. Factual Fact debuts over jumps but has good recent form while Shuttle Diplomacy, who finished third and thus ahead the selection at Cheltenham but behind him at Fairyhouse, is on a retrieval mission following his Galway disappointment.
A hurdle for five years old and upwards, maidens at starting that are EBF eligible and that have not run under any Rules of Racing as a two or three yr old
Weights - 11st 12lbs. Mares allowed 7lbs.
