FormscanBy Tom Weekes - SCARPETA won a similar claimer in March and is capable at this level. Fourth in Cheltenham's 2018 Ballymore Novice Hurdle to Samcro, he bridged a three-year losing spell when winning at Clonmel in March and while beaten a long way in a recent chase, today's race is a lesser contest. Bal De Rio also won a similar claimer at Limerick in May, under a 7lb claimer, and while he ran well at Kilbeggan last month, gives the selection 16lb. Shes Some Doll was well held on a recent Tramore chase run but had been running well and is suited by this distance and seems ground-versatile. Sicario is exposed but is fit from the flat and was a Kilbeggan maiden hurdle winner last August. Breffni Brave has yet to show much worthwhile form.
