FormscanBy Tom Weekes - STREET VALUE won well at Cork and could continue to climb the handicap ladder. He improved when running in handicap hurdles last season, won easily on handicap chase debut recently and while 11lb higher today, should get competitive. Ballyshannon Rose is a poignant runner for connections and has solid claims, having won a Grade 2 last month. She has Irish Grand National aspirations (last year's bottom weight was notably rated 135) and while competing from a career high mark on handicap chase debut, is suited by trip and ground. King Alex won at Limerick and is now rated 125, the same mark he achieved over hurdles. His yard is in flying form and is another with claims, with trip and ground also in his favour. Useful Gevrey is also suited by race conditions and has his chance from a 6lb higher mark than when winning at Fairyhouse while Krabat won well in a lesser Clonmel race but is also well suited by trip and ground.
