FormscanBy Mark Nunan - TULLYHOGUE FORT is a likeable stayer at this level and was a hurdles winner over 3m at last year's Listowel festival. He almost gained a second chase success at Roscommon earlier this month so comes into this in good shape. Glenmalure Lodge has been runner-up on five of her last six visits to Ballinrobe and heads west again for another attempt to gain an elusive victory. Her trainer could not be in better form. Sarah's Soldier stepped up on previous form when third in first-time blinkers here last month and that was in a slightly higher grade. She merits consideration along with Rewrite The Script who got a 5lb hike for running well in a maiden at the last meeting here.
An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards rated 80-95Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each hurdle race won.
