FormscanBy Tom Weekes - REBEL EARLY won this in 2020 and is ideally suited by trip and testing ground. An experienced hurdler, she showed her old spark when winning at Cork and while 7lb higher racing from a career high mark, today's rider claims 4lb. Rebel Ivy is also suited by trip and testing ground and has obvious claims despite a 10lb hike for her Limerick win, with today's rider claiming 2lb. Teescomponentsyess is himself suited by conditions but is 7lb higher than when winning on his return to form at Limerick with today's same rider claiming 3lb less. Auckland, a five year old, is 4lb higher than when second at Limerick and is open to more progression over hurdles while 2019 Kerry National winner Poker Party reverts to hurdles rated 28lbs less than fences but was well held in the Paddy Power Chase, which was his first start for 666 days.
