Formscan By John O'Riordan - Runner-up on his last three starts over hurdles, BULGADEN CASTLE(3) can make the breakthrough for trainer Philip Rothwell. Having placed in a point-to-point, the Soldier Of Fortune gelding should benefit from stepping up in trip here on his return to action. In a race where a couple of his main dangers have questions to answer, the five-year-old looks the most solid option. With an official rating of 117, Doctor Elvis sets the standard on what he has achieved over flights to date. However, having been pulled up when last seen at Wexford in July, the Gordon Elliott-trained gelding has something to prove at this stage. Point-to-point winner Rebel Reba has claims if coming on from her recent hurdling debut.

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