FormscanBy Michael Graham - MORELL RIVER (3) is actually two from two over 2m4f at Wexford, so is likely to show up well in this small field. She does have to overcome an unplaced run at Downpatrick last month, but that doesn't seem to be the venue that she enjoys the most. Marian Avenue was disqualified after winning at Limerick, but has a shot at a breakthrough success here. On his penultimate start, he was just held by a neck in Punchestown, so is clearly going the right way. Ocean Murphy showed good improvement to score in a ladies' handicap hurdle over a slightly shorter trip at this venue in July. Considering he opened up by more than five lengths, he has to be given plenty of respect.

An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards (110 = 11st 12lbs)
Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each hurdle race won.
