FormscanBy John O'Riordan - A lightly raced four-year-old, RAKKI catches the eye on stable debut for Willie Mullins. Although yet to get his head in front, the Sea The Stars gelding could prove to be well treated relative to his mark on the Flat. While his lack of handicap experience is an obvious worry in a field this size, it might be worth taking a chance on him making a winning Irish debut. Runner-up in the corresponding race last year, Clonbury Bridge is sure to have been laid out for a repeat bid. A winner over fences at Fairyhouse in January, the nine-year-old is rated 7lb lower in this sphere. Wajaaha is another with solid recent placed form at this venue.

An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards (110 = 11st 12lbs)
Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each hurdle race won.
