FormscanBy Michael Graham - SWELLTIME was an easy winner in Killarney and has prospects of following up off 7lb higher. Jake Coen kept him wide in the search for better ground and the pair readily went on before the final flight. They are due to encounter good ground in Kilbeggan which will suit well. Faceman was a decisive winner off the front over a slightly shorter trip at this racecourse and would be particularly threatening if allowed too much rope. Warm in Gorey acquitted himself well in third when last seen in this discipline at Punchestown in June. Sea Of Doubt is another to consider, while Marelly would prefer softer ground.

An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards (110 = 11st 12lbs)
