Formscan By Alan Magee - Plenty of recent course form to consider and perhaps RAGMANS CORNER can successfully revert to hurdles following his third to Filey Bay in the valuable Connacht Hotel Handicap here on Monday. The Gerry Keane-trained gelding appears versatile in terms of ground conditions winning twice over hurdles last season and has progressed well since on the Flat taking a 21-runner handicap at Navan. Punchestown maiden hurdle winner Castleheath dead-heated over an extended mile here on Tuesday, while Battle Of Ridgeway is one for the shortlist on his second at the Punchestown Festival. There is little to choose between Son Of Hypnos, Half A Chance and Eyeeye on running behind Jerrari over course and distance on Monday.

An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards (120 = 11st 12lbs)
Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each hurdle race won.
Riders - Confined to Professional Riders under I.N.H.S. Rules who have not lost the right to claim the allowance under Rule 52. Allowances - (which are not cumulative, up to and including 30th July) Riders who have not ridden the winners of 25 *races allowed...........4lb; Those who have not ridden the winners of 40 *races allowed..........2lb. No allowance under Rule 52 may be claimed. *Including races under any N.H. Rules or Rules of Racing.
