FormscanBy Gary Carson - LONGBOURN just didn't get home here last time over a mile-and-a-half and dropping back in trip will suit now. The Mukhadram gelding travelled like the winner early in the straight but got outstayed inside the final furlong by Gulliver's Travels in a conditions event. He has eased another pound since that run and looks on a nice mark now having dropped 5lb since the start of the season. Once Upon A River is another who may be better dropping back slightly in trip. He faded on his return at Roscommon in late August, over just over a furlong further, and may also strip fitter for that run. Free To Party also drops in trip after making little impression at Down Royal last time and is another to consider.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards (95 = 10st)Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
