Formscan By Tom Weekes - LENJOLEUR DE PALMA finished a good second in a Listed course-handicap during Christmas, and that form stands out here. The selection initially shaped with some promise in the UK but has shown improvement on his Irish starts and while he hasn’t raced since December, is open to further progression and seems ground-versatile. Donnrua Dream ended a long losing spell to score here last month and while he was well beaten subsequently, is suited by testing ground. Eight-year-old winning pointer Crohan Lady ran well at Thurles last month and runs for a different trainer.

An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards (110 = 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 7lb allowance under Rule 52. Allowances - (which are not cumulative, up to and including 18th March) Riders who have not ridden the winner of a *race allowed..........4lb; Those who have not ridden the winners of 5 *races allowed........2lb. No allowance to riders under Rule 52 may be claimed. *Including races under any N.H. Rules or Rules of Racing.
