FormscanBy John O'Riordan - A winner at Bellewstown last month, the locally owned and trained ELUSIVE OGIE(12) can follow up. Third in the Lartigue Hurdle at the festival 12 months ago, the son of Elusive Pimpernel hasn't had the best of luck this term. Looking certain to be involved when unseating two out at Killarney in May, the five-year-old stumbled badly and lost all chance at that same track two months later. A combination of soft ground and stamina issues were to blame on his other appearances before it all came right last time. Sageborough shouldn't be discounted after a below par run in the Galway Hurdle, while handicap debutant Livio is an obvious contender for the Mullins/Townend partnership.

An extended handicap hurdle for five years old and upwards (140 = 11st 12lbs)
