FormscanBy John O'Riordan - In the form of his life on turf, PILLAR OF HOPE(4) is worth chancing on his return to the all-weather. A respectable seventh in the October Handicap at Leopardstown last time, the Paul Sweeny-trained gelding had won his previous two starts. Able to race off 7lb lower back on the Polytrack, the son of Awtaad has to be sided with after just the three starts at Dundalk since changing stables, including a second in March 2025. Not Just Any Eagle boasts a similar profile and has to warrant serious interest as an impressive scorer on his penultimate start and following a decent run in a big race at Naas recently, while Serenity Blue looks best of the rest.

An extended handicap for three years old and upwards (90 = 10st)
Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
