FormscanBy Shane Redmond - GLOBAL SKIES improved on a runner-up effort at Clonmel in May to score in fine style at the same course in early June and perhaps he can defy a 9lb hike in the ratings to follow up. He certainly won with plenty in hand and is likely to be competitive again in a race where Cocovic looks a danger after a fair effort when third behind two better fancied rivals here at Limerick a little over a month ago. That was his first run in a handicap hurdle and his first start since September of last year. Mickey Cohen is one with an absence to overcome this time. He won a beginners' chase at Downpatrick last September and was then second to easy winner Flidais when last seen over hurdles at Tipperary the following month.

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.
