FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Four-timer chasing AODHAN MAY is ideally suited by heavy ground and this distance. She seemed to be exposed prior to winning at Navan in February and while she has risen 28lb for three wins, further progression is indeed possible. Will Do has top weight but drops from Listed company and, being suited by conditions, should compete. Chance The Robin is also well suited by heavy ground and while he ran well at Thurles on Saturday, steps up in grade. Emancipator and Waittillitellyou are closely matched on a recent Naas race (Capilano Bridge finished seventh) and are able types while five-year-old Jeriko De Baune has recent form and might progress. Veteran Sir Bob was well held in recent hurdle races while Champagne Platinum pulled up recently but was a winner previously over hurdles. Out of form Regina Dracones is rated 10lb lower than over fences and hasn't raced over hurdles since April 2021.
