FormscanBy Gary Carson - BROKEN ICE won on his last visit here over fences and may be able to follow up back over timber. He is now rated 115 over the larger obstacles so is of obvious interest here off a 11lb lower mark. Gaius looked to win cosily enough at Punchestown 10 days ago and having only gone up 5lb for that victory he could be a big player again here. Philip Byrnes takes a useful 7lb off his back again. Paidi's Passion is another coming into this in fine form and has to be on the short-list. The Ocovango mare switches back to hurdling after finishing runner-up over fences last time and looks on a fair mark for her handicap debut.
An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards rated 80-109Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each hurdle race won.
