FormscanBy Gary Carson - CEROC may be able to make a winning start for Andy Slattery here. The Champs Elysees gelding was placed on his last two outings for the late Edward O’Grady and remains on the same mark of 110. His new yard has been in fine form and a change of scenery could give the seven-year-old a little boost. Newtown Rambler has been placed on his last two chase outings and remains on the same mark as when third at Wexford last month. He remains open to a bit more improvement on just his fourth outing over fences. A Nod To Getaway won well in Killarney last time and is another for the shortlist, with Eoin Staples taking off 7lb now.
An extended handicap steeplechase for four years old and upwards (110 = 11st 12lbs)Penalties - Winner of a steeplechase after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each steeplechase won.
