FormscanBy Donal Murphy - Bidding for a fifth win in six starts since joining Ian Donoghue, HITTHEHAYSON might be able to continue his rich vein of form. After winning his last two over fences, the Jukebox Jury bay is now rated 106 in that discipline, 15lb higher than his hurdles mark of 91. Knocking on the door in recent starts and likely to be suited by this unusually long trip, Lough Nigara is the second choice. A solid fourth of 24 on his handicap debut at Cork, the lightly-raced Jukebox Johnny is of definite interest, while top-weight The Miracle Man is another leading hope, after finishing second at Navan on his latest start. Others for the shortlist in this competitive affair are the long absent Pictures Of Home, handicap debutant Glenmalure Lady and Liam Cusack's Ballyglass Beauty.

An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards (110 = 11st 12lbs)
Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each hurdle race won.
