FormscanBy Michael Graham - KILLOWEN HOUSE (10) showed that he should have a future in handicaps when a close second over further in Ballinrobe. The winner has gone in again since to boost the form. That handicap debut run built upon solid maiden hurdle efforts at Roscommon and, in particular, at Galway. First Ascent is sure to be popular after hacking up in a Kilbeggan maiden hurdle. He is up in trip on handicap debut, but James Smith claims a handy 5lb. In For The Night also brings Kilbeggan winning-form to the fray. This trip will be no problem to him and he appreciates good ground. Carrigg Island's last run saw him finish third in a Listed novice hurdle at Limerick, however, he has been off for almost a year.

An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards (120 = 11st 12lbs)
Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each hurdle race won.
