FormscanBy John O'Riordan - A horse that tends to run his best races when fresh, PADDY'S MILESTONE(9) can record a second course and distance win. Successful here on his reappearance last season, the Stuart Crawford-trained gelding ran a creditable fifth in a stronger race on his only subsequent start. A mistake at the final flight all but ended his hopes on that occasion. Given that the latter contest was over in excess of three-miles, dropping back in trip here looks a wise move. Recent Listowel winner Mart Lane holds strong claims for trainer Barry Connell. A lightly raced five-year-old, the gelding had run well in a couple of decent handicaps earlier in the year. Sa Fureur may prove best of Gordon Elliott's trio.

An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards (130 = 11st 12lbs)
