FormscanBy Tom Weekes - WALKING ON AIR ran well in the Pertemps Final, stays well and likes a sound surface. He has run consistently well in handicaps this season and met some trouble in-running at Cheltenham, when running on late. He competes from a 2lb lower Irish rating and is dependable. Verdant Place and Seabank Bistro are closely matched on a recent Fairyhouse race and with both being proven stayers, have obvious claims. Parmenion is deserted by Paul Townend but finished third at Grade 2 level recently and notably steps up to this distance for the first time. Sweet Will is a proven stayer who should get involved racing from 1lb lower than when winning from his UK rating last month while Lets Go Champ was a slightly fortunate maiden hurdle winner recently but should be suited by stepping up in trip. Grozni ran well in a similar race at the DRF while Toss Again and returning Dartan are suited to drying ground. Sir Argus steps up in grade while Kilbeg King has improved over staying distances recently.

An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards that have run at least three times in hurdle races up to and including 20th April 2023 (145 = 11st 12lbs)
Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race or hurdle races after calculation of the handicap shall carry any penalty or penalties which may be allotted by the Handicapper.
