FormscanBy Tom Weekes - A MERE BAGATELLE returns following a winter’s break and contests a weak handicap. A faller on his last two runs last autumn, he had previously shown useful form and scored over fences at Killarney last May. Ground-versatile and suited by this distance, he was beaten in three completed hurdle starts last summer but is nonetheless now rated 18lb lower in this sphere than over fences. Aleish Lass hasn’t run since being placed in an ordinary hunters chase last April but is interesting, reverting to hurdling. A point-to-point winner, she stays well and should compete from 91. Point-to-point winner Master Of The Sums ran ok here during Christmas.

An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards rated 0-100
Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each hurdle race won.
