Formscan By Tom Weekes - MISTYBURN came good over hurdles in April and should now compete reverting to fences under a light weight. A point-to-point winner, the selection’s initial hurdles and chase form was ordinary but has run well twice this year and having scored at Kilbeggan, now competes from a chase rating which is 2lb below his hurdles mark. A Year Older was penalised 4lb for falling, having travelled well, at the fourth-last fence at Down Royal in April and scored at Limerick last month. He is another 5lb higher today but stays well and should compete. Recent winners North Of Nashville and Il Silenzio each also stay well and are, respectively, 8lb and 6lb higher than when scoring recently.
