FormscanBy Dan McEvoy - WARRIORS WOOD (11) returns to hurdling after three admirable performances this term. Brian Hayes' mount is eight pounds lower over hurdles than fences and should appreciate the step up in trip. His latest run behind Ol Man Dingle is a strong piece of form. My Gaffer won at Clonmel two starts ago off six pounds lower, but with Michael Keneally taking over the steering, the previous course winner could be capable of this mark. Jacovec Cavern is a consistent performer, although difficult to win with, and it appears the handicapper may now have his measure after a runaway victory at the Punchestown Festival. Both Elusive Oggie and Hees Dynamite seem favourably treated off light weights, so the market is worth watching due to their local connections.

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.
