FormscanBy Gary Carson - DAIRY FORCE may have gotten bogged down in very testing conditions on his first outing for Gordon Elliott and is worth another shot. He was well backed at Fairyhouse but flattened out going to the second last, where a mistake didn’t help. His sole win came on good ground and while there is going to be a cut in it now it’s not going to be as deep as last time. Coolboy Christy ran a solid race when fourth at Leopardstown earlier in the month and looks like a leading contender despite a 3lb rise for that effort. Top-weight Splashing Out has disappointed over fences recently and a switch of tack here might see him play more of a role, down in grade.

An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards (110 = 11st 12lbs)
