Formscan By Michael Graham - LIZZIE TWIGG (6) created a good impression in her first two runs over flights with a wide-margin victory in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown and with a comfortable success in a novice hurdle at Roscommon. She is more than adept on better ground and Jack Kennedy has chosen her among the pair of Gordon Elliott representatives. Gomez Addams has the benefit of winning a bumper in Galway and made a good start to his jumping career when beating a big field at Listowel in May. Fastnet Crystal really took to hurdling in Downpatrick and should have a say, while Elliott's Porcupine Bank and Magico, who races for Willie Mullins, make this a competitive opener to the festival.

A novice hurdle for four years old and upwards
Weights - 4-y-o 10st 12lbs 5-y-o and up 11st 2lbs. Mares allowed 7lbs.
Penalties - Penalties (handicaps, Academy Hurdles and 3-y-o Junior N.H. Hurdles excluded) - Winner of a hurdle race 4lb extra Of two hurdle races or of a Listed hurdle race 7lb extra Of a Grade 2 or 3 hurdle race 10lb extra Of a Grade 1 hurdle race 12lb extra

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Porcupine Bank (IRE)

He has a good attitude and he tries. He’s very honest,. He probably likes that better ground and he could be a nice horse to tip on for the summer. He’ll be a grand horse and he’ll win his races in his own company.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Lizzie Twigg (IRE)

She’s a good mare. She won her bumper and I ran her too quick then in Fairyhouse. She jumped well there today and we're delighted. We’ll look for some black-type now, that would be important. She’s for sale and is a nice mare going forward.
