FormscanBy Gary Carson - Not the strongest looking contest and if BLACK BAMBOO can perform anywhere near his mark of 121 he should be able to collect. The John Murphy-trained gelding was a bumper winner back in February 2022 and has kept decent company since going over hurdles. This is an easier task than the novice hurdle he ran in at Killarney last time. Despite finishing fifth of six then he wasn't beaten far behind Lucid Dreams. The mare Purse Price disappointed when last seen at Sligo in July but she had been consistent before that and looks a potential danger in receipt of 9lb. Our Girl Sal has been knocking on the door and could be place material.
