FormscanBy Tom Weekes - SPRINGT DE LA MARE debuts over fences but has winning point-to-point experience and is in form. A debut points victor, he also showed smart bumper form and while he missed 314 days following a fall last January, ran well in two recent smart maiden hurdles. Admittedly he was well held in both, but finished ahead of some capable types at Leopardstown over Christmas and drops markedly in grade here. Union Station is top rated at 120 over hurdles and while he too makes his chase debut, is more exposed than his stablemate. Mount Sinai is rated 118 over hurdles and also receives a helpful mares’ 7lb but faces a slightly tougher task than on her chase debut at Sligo.
A steeplechase for five years old and upwards that have not won a steeplechase and which at entry are rated 120 or less over hurdlesWeights - 5-y-o 11st 8lbs 6-y-o and up 11st 12lbs Mares allowed 7lbs
