FormscanBy Alan Magee - EMANCIPATOR was a consistent sort in three-mile handicap hurdles for Donie Hassett through the winter including when runner-up to progressive types like Where’s Frankie at Fairyhouse and Wild Hunt at Clonmel. The six-year-old was well-backed when switched to fences on his first start for current connections and bolted up in a handicap at Clonmel. He remains on a lowly mark over hurdles and has solid claims. Iridescent has also been placed on a number of occasions including over a similar trip at Thurles while topweight Something Sweet and Stellar Stow, third in a division of this race last year, are others to consider. Kingsgate could be suited by this step up in trip and is one to note for market moves.
