FormscanBy Mark Nunan - A big field for the opener but only a handful have claims and LYNCHES KNOCK is taken to go one better after his runner-up effort at this venue last month. The third-place finisher in that race has endorsed the form and Gordon Elliott’s four-year-old, who holds a Fred Winter entry, can put his experience to good use having had two good runs in academy hurdles prior to his latest outing. Star Of The Week has had two solid runs in maidens and is a leading contender while Triumph entry Dschingis Desire, a winner over 1m4f in France, is likely to leave behind a disappointing hurdles debut at Leopardstown. %0A%0A

A hurdle for four years old and upwards, maidens at starting
