Formscan By Stuart Howden - A competitive handicap hurdle on show here, and the pick is given to the Henry de Bromhead-trained ADALIZ (8), who has been consistent without winning recently. The daughter of Waldpark is taken to claim this contest over three miles. Smallcraftwarning was a winner over hurdles in Kilbeggan at the start of September and he can be a big danger, while Ilbdare can also be competitive after a solid third on his latest start, where he was ahead of Adaliz.
