Formscan By Shane Redmond - It is difficult to look beyond WITH NOLIMIT (6) who got the better of Cheltenham Festival bumper winner The Mourne Rambler to score at the Punchestown Festival at the end of April. He was also on the mark at Fairyhouse, also on yielding ground, on New Year's Day and is a most interesting recruit to the jumping game. If taking to his hurdles on his seasonal reappearance, he is likely to be far too strong for the Kilbeggan bumper winner Confidence Within who went on to finish third over hurdles at Listowel last month. Water Mill, a stable companion of With No Limit, was just ahead of Confidence Within in a point-to-point at Ballindenisk in May and he too might reach the frame, possibly ahead of Master Locksley who was fourth on his hurdling debut at Gowran Park.

A hurdle for four years old and upwards, maidens at starting that are EBF eligible
Weights - 4-y-o 11st 10lbs 5-y-o and up 11st 12lbs. Mares allowed 7lbs.
