FormscanBy Gary Carson - An open looking contest and NIBIRU may be able to strike again over hurdles. The Casamento gelding was a cosy winner on his last outing over timber, at Navan, and went up 8lb for that victory. He has run well on soft ground since on the level at Leopardstown and comes here in good heart. Gordon Elliott runs four in the race and Ebasari should appreciate dropping back in trip after a decent run to finish fifth over half a mile further at Punchestown last month. Watch The Weather disappointed at Listowel last time but returned with cuts and a swollen knee so can be forgiven that run. He was in fine form previously and Rachael Blackmore retains the ride so he has to be respected.
