FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Recent Limerick third NUSRA can make the breakthrough over hurdles. A three-time winner on the Flat, the eight-year-old mare has only had the six career runs over flights to date. With her best effort coming last time, the daughter of Finsceal Fior appears to be going the right way. Dropping back in trip is far from ideal given that she is a stayer on the level but this looks a modest contest. Course and distance winner Itsalonglongroad has been a great servant to connections over the last couple of years. The Charles Coakley-trained veteran is 10lb higher over fences, so has to have leading claims here. Hitthehayson is the one potential improver in the race.
An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards rated 0-100Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each hurdle race won.
