FormscanBy Tom Weekes - BECASSE ran well on his Irish debut last month and while he has top weight in a competitive handicap, can build on that reappearance run. Ex-French-trained, the selection won a Fontainebleau hurdle in October 2024 but was absent for 519 days prior to his Wexford return. That race was admittedly won by a veteran but the rival was competing from a favourable rating and under a 7lb claimer, and lightly-raced Becasse should progress. Give Him A Chance had been in good form prior to slipping up at Wexford recently while four-year-old in-form Sopelana has already scored three times over hurdles and relishes testing ground. Arch Empire and High Court Cave return following breaks.

An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards (130 = 11st 12lbs)
Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each hurdle race won.
