FormscanBy Michael Graham - Joseph O'Brien's two reserves would have to be given a market check, particularly Loadstone who is related to a double hurdle-winner, given that this race lacks depth. The 117-rated KIMI DE MAI (4) ought to take a bit of beating albeit she would prefer slower ground. It is worth noting that she was only 6/1 for a valuable handicap hurdle at the Galway Festival before finishing unplaced. She should appreciate these calmer waters. First Ascent is rated 17lb inferior to Kimi De Mai, but has claims on her runner-up berth over course and distance where she was hampered at the final flight. Mistakenforanother handled Kilbeggan well when runner-up in a bumper in June and could have more to offer on her hurdling debut.
