FormscanBy Michael Graham - EL C WELLS has been competing in better-class races and can avail of a return to 47-65 company. It is worth noting that she won over 1m4f and was runner-up over this trip on her last two outings in this grade in Dundalk. She has an each-way chance. Spirituoso arrives in Dundalk after two solid placed efforts on turf at Gowran Park. She was beaten just over a length and a half into third last month before being pipped by a head last week. This former CD winner is clearly on a mark she can be competitive off. Futurum Regem reverts to the Flat off a very lowly mark. Considering he is rated 122 over hurdles, and was placed in a Pertemps qualifier at Leopardstown last Christmas, he will appeal to many. However, he is not without risks. He was beaten a long way in subsequent hurdle races and is a long-standing maiden in this sphere. He had one fair run in Dundalk when sixth in November. James Ryan takes 7lb off Shining Aitch's back which puts him on an appealing mark. He has a notable third at Navan, on penultimate start, in the book.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards rated 47-65Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
