Formscan By Shane Redmond - Gordon Elliott has declared three of the six runners and his four-year-old MANGE TOUT (3) is the pick with Jack Kennedy on board. She was one of the leading juvenile hurdlers of last season, beginning her campaign with a taking victory at this meeting and wrapping it up with a game success in the Grade 1 Boodles Anniversary Hurdle at Aintree in April. While the weights are certainly not in her favour as she takes on older horses for the first time, she might still be a match for her own stable companion El Cairos who won well at Gowran Park at the beginning of the month. Blake was also a winner at this meeting a year ago and he too held his form well at a hight level throughout last season.

A hurdle for four years old and upwards that have not won a hurdle race (excluding Academy Hurdles and 3-y-o Junior N.H. Hurdles) before 4th May, 2025
Weights - 4-y-o 11st 1lbs 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 two hurdle races 4lb extra Of a Listed or a Grade 3 hurdle race 7lb extra Of a Grade 2 hurdle race 10lb extra Of a Grade 1 hurdle race 12lb extra
