FormscanBy Tom Weekes - MY FRIEND THE WIND might turn last year's placing with Captain Jimmy and win. A dual hurdle winner, the selection is rated 6lb lower in this sphere and while beaten a neck in last year's renewal (Eddies Pride finished fifth), is 10lb better off with Captain Jimmy today. Captain Jimmy has won the last two renewals and while he will be primed for today's reappearance and likes this course, might find the race-fit selection too strong. Hascoeur Clermont is another dual hurdle winner who is rated 4lb lower over fences and while he lay second when exiting at the final fence in Punchestown recently, is without his rider's 7lb claim today. Takerengo has won just once from 30 jumps runs while Teescomponentsyess is quirky and debuts in handicaps from a lower rating than over hurdles.
An extended handicap steeplechase for four years old and upwards rated 0-109Penalties - Winner of a steeplechase after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each steeplechase won.
