FormscanBy Tom Weekes - DAMEAUSCOTTLESTOWN has progressed well recently and while she debuts over fences, is perfectly suited by race conditions and has point-to-pointing experience. Flat-bred, she finished second in a smart handicap at the Dublin Racing Festival earlier this month, is now rated 118 over hurdles and today is greatly helped by her 7lb mares’ allowance in this restricted chase. Strutter hasn’t run in 420 days and while he encouragingly remains in the champion trainer’s yard, has enough on his plate on chase debut. Joyau De Thaix has been running well while recent winner Billy Lee Swagger debuts over fences but has pointing experience.
