FormscanBy Mark Nunan - OSKAR HIGH is a dual hurdle winner who stays well and he can go close in his first handicap chase. He ran well over an inadequate trip on his most recent hurdles outing at Ballinrobe, and a very capable 7lbs claimer will be on board. Shantou Warrior is another open to improvement over fences, and he scored over hurdles at Sligo last year. Unchago and habitual front-runner Rudy Catrail were placed behind Eimear at Kilbeggan last time, and can get involved, while Give Him Time followed an easy hurdles win at Downpatrick with a fair third over fences at Tramore. Recent form figures don’t look too good for Daisy Chicks, but she had some good runs last year including falling two out when in with every chance in this race.
