Formscan By Alan Magee - MIGHT BE THE ONE (6) has shaped well on a number of occasions and may gain a winning turn. The point-to-point winner returns after a summer break having finished second on three occasions last season including behind Ellies Rock at Clonmel. Whispering Hopes has dropped down to an attractive mark and was third behind Miss Doyenne (won again since) at Down Royal last time. Tropical Twist won at Wexford last month but needs to bounce back after disappointing here a couple of days later, while Mercurial Sea has filled the runner-up spot twice over course and distance this year but jumped poorly over fences last time.

An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards rated 0-100
Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each hurdle race won.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Pahlavi (IRE)

Danny (Mullins) rode him the last day and when he came back in, he turned to the syndicate and said 'this is one I left behind me'. He said everywhere he went, he ran into trouble. We are after being very unlucky with him - one day a horse brought him out in Down Royal. Getting his ground is another thing. There was a 15lb turnaround with the favourite (Wing Back) today. They (Shark Hanlon Racing Club) are a great crowd. It is a big syndicate we have and this year I went back to get money off some and some pulled out, but all this crowd stayed with me. I think there was 30 left there now, and there was 60 or 70.
