FormscanBy Alan Magee - WARM IN GOREY has been in good form this year and opened his account in a lady riders handicap at Punchestown last time. A 5lb rise for that success seems fair enough and the Philip Rothwell-trained gelding appears quite versatile ground wise. Staging Post won a bumper here and, having won a Wexford maiden hurdle, has dropped down to a competitive mark. He filled the runner-up spot in a similar event here last month and is a threat with Michael O’Sullivan taking the ride. The Big Chap has progressed well over the past 14 months scoring twice but ran too bad to be true at Roscommon last month, while Bigz Belief won a claiming hurdle at this venue last month but has since disappointed on the Flat at Limerick.

An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards rated 80-116
