Formscan By Tom Weekes - UHAVEMEINSTITCHES was Grade 2-placed at today’s course during Christmas and her overall form reads well. Out of Irish National winner Bluesea Cracker, the selection won a course maiden hurdle in December 2024 and while she unseated rider on her most recent start, had previously chased home high-class types Dinoblue - in February, and The Big Westerner and Jade De Grugy, last December. You Oughta Know has 2lb in-hand at these weights but his form is in-and-out and prefers good ground. Dublin National-runner-up Slotty Dotty has better recent form that four-time winner Ad Caelum.

A novice steeplechase for five years old and upwards
Weights - 5-y-o 10st 10lbs 6-y-o and up 11st. Mares allowed 7lbs.
