FormscanBy Tom Weekes - DEADHEAT can follow up his recent Wexford win. He began his racing life in his native France where he won three hurdles and competed at a high level racing at Autueil and while probably no longer at that level (he did have a 490 days layoff after a November 2018 run), he has retutned in good form this year and comes here as a proven soft ground performer who can cope with a recent 7lbs hike for winning a similar race at Wexford latest. Sir Bob won on point-to-point debut and while he has yet to win in 13 racecourse outings, ran a good race from a lower hurdle rating when last seen at Navan in January and is at least very much proven on testing ground. Rudy Catrail has been in excellent form this year and while well held by DEADHEAT at Wexford latest, had previously won a soft ground handicap hurdle by a wide margin at Tipperary in August. Something Sweet wasn't beaten far here on Sunday and could go well on handicap chase debut.
