FormscanBy Gary Carson - LONG GONE may be able to make a winning start in handicap company. The Getaway mare did well to score over two miles around Tramore last time and should appreciate going a bit further now. A mark of 110 doesn’t look harsh as there is scope for a bit more improvement from her. Shadow Paddy also comes here in winning form and has to be respected. He left previous form well behind when winning at Tipperary just over two weeks ago and got an 8lb hike for that victory. Rut Daniels, an easy winner of a maiden hurdle here last November, is another relatively unexposed sort who has to be on the shortlist.
An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards (110 = 11st 12lbs)Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each hurdle race won.
