FormscanBy Gary Carson - FLEMENS INTREST was progressive in the spring and may be able to pick things up again on his return to action. The David Barry-trained gelding won two handicaps in good style at Limerick in April and despite a 10lb rise for his last win he looks capable of a bit more. Aine O’Connor is a positive booking in this ladies contest. Half A Chance ran a big race when chasing home Arcland at Downpatrick last time and is another leading contender. His trainer ‘Shark’ Hanlon also saddles Pahlavi, a winner at Downpatrick on his penultimate start. He is only 4lb higher back on Irish soil now after a placed effort at Fontwell last time.

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