FormscanBy Tom Weekes - CHANGING THE RULES reappears on handicap debut but could improve. Out of a sister to Moscow Flyer, last season's runs were encouraging, he has soft-ground form and finished well despite being hampered at Fairyhouse in April. Fortunedefortunata won well Galway and while now 11lb higher, is open to further improvement and is proven on soft. Sil Ver Klass has won once from 14 hurdle outings but is rated 14lb higher over fences, is ground-versatile and race-fit. Kashi was slowly away on Curragh reappearance but is better judged on last year's hurdles form, although is 9lb higher than when winning a rated hurdle in May. Global Export represents a yard in form, is ground-versatile and race-fit but has plenty weight. Rodney Bay is race-fit but not ahead of the handicapper while Dollys Destination was second at Punchestown but hasn't won for over two years. Clever Currency fell when leading at Punchestown but has been well held in handicaps. Cotteemcavennigoal reappears.
An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards (123 = 11st 12lbs)Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each hurdle race won.
