FormscanBy Michael Graham - CHOPSTICKS could be rewarded for his consistency. He has been placed in his last four races including at Leopardstown in May on his first start since moving to John McConnell. Si Senior suffered a less than clear route before finishing second in an apprentice handicap over course and distance, so can get involved. The handicapper tacked on 6lb, though, which tempers enthusiasm somewhat. Cleopatra's Needle shouldn't be a backmarker off a handy mark. Carvalhal didn't run badly in third at Gowran Park on Monday, while Jurality showed more on his last couple of starts.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards rated 0-60Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
