FormscanBy Alan Magee - SIXANDAHALF is a useful staying handicapper on the Flat with a rating in the 90s and made a successful switch to hurdles earlier this year when easily winning a Fairyhouse maiden. She subsequently went close in the Grade 2 Ryanair Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival and should benefit from a recent run on the Flat in the Irish Cesarewitch. Colonel Mustard doesn’t win very often but has built up a consistent record over hurdles with many placed efforts at big Festival meetings, while Wendrock was highly tried last season after winning a maiden at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting including when placed last time in a Grade 2 at Fairyhouse.
