FormscanBy Michael Graham - FIERCE HANDAY is a lightly-raced sort who was a fair fourth in a higher grade at Gowran Park. The horse in fifth came out and scored in Thurles towards the end of November, so Fierce Handay is threatening off an unchanged mark. Kentucky Beach attempted to make all in Gowran Park, but went down by a neck after being collared on the run-in. He relishes the mud flying and has a shot at compensation off 3lb higher. Hillstar Blues won by a short head on better ground at Thurles last month. The handicapper gave him 7lb and he is up in class, however, he still appears one of the more likely contenders.

An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards that have not won a hurdle race before 4th May 2025 (110 = 11st 12lbs)
Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each hurdle race won.
