FormscanBy Tom Weekes - LISTENHERETOMEJACK should benefit from a recent reappearance run and might follow up last year's win. A half-length winner from Derridae in last year's renewal, he disappointed subsequently before missing 324 days but shaped nicely on reappearance and while rated 7lb higher than last year, today's rider claims 5lb. Derridae has been busier in the interim but needs to recapture her best form. Uncle Gerhard, winner of the 2022 renewal, was pulled up over fences in November but having been freshened up, can return to form now although really heavy ground mightn't suit. Benjis Benefit's hurdles form is ordinary but showed up well before falling in a recent point-to-point and has joined new connections. Star Official, Intersky Sunset and New Barn Lane have been running consistently well while The Truant ran well over Christmas but is a 19-race maiden. Le Fanu runs in his first handicap while Champagne Mahler disappointed at Cork recently.
An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards rated 80-102Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each hurdle race won.
