Formscan By Mark Nunan - The locally-trained NOBLE TALENT enters handicap company after landing a beginners' contest at Gowran in good style. Tom Nagle's charge will be better suited to softer ground here and has a nice racing weight with a talented claimer taking 5lb off. Falco Blitz won twice on winter ground early in the year and wasn't beaten far when fourth in the Munster National at Limerick last month. Battle It Out won easily at Naas in February and should be all the better for last month's return at Galway where he shaped okay before unseating rider late on while, in the same colours, Invictus Machin returns from a break since beating a subsequent winner over 3m1f at Kilbeggan. %0A%0A%0A
An extended handicap steeplechase for four years old and upwards (140 = 11st 12lbs)
Penalties - Winner of a steeplechase after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each steeplechase won.
