FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Jack Kennedy looks a significant booking on the Paul Traynor-trained ASTLEY(1). Third in a handicap chase at Gowran Park last weekend, the gelding reverts to a beginners chase with the champion jockey in the saddle. Given that Kennedy appears to have deserted the Gordon Elliott-trained Down Around in favour of the selection, the hint should be taken. A three-time winner over hurdles, Down Around still has to be respected on only his second start over fences. A faller three out at Sligo recently, Kennedy was on board on that occasion. Point-to-point winner Ring Of Kerry should be noted too.

A steeplechase for four years old and upwards that have not won a steeplechase and that at entry are rated 110 or less over hurdles
Weights - 4-y-o 11st 3lbs 5-y-o and up 11st 12lbs. Mares allowed 7lbs.
