FormscanBy John O'Riordan - A previous dual winner at this track, CROWSATEDAPPLETART can register a third success. The Michael Winters-trained nine-year-old went on to win at Limerick after scoring here last August and, now finds himself on a mark of 117 over fences. However, with leading conditional jockey Michael Kenneally taking 5lb off his back, the gelding looks sure to run a big race. Recent Limerick scorer Come On The Lads has scope for further improvement on what is only his fourth start over fences. Former smart handicap hurdler Captain Conby was absent for over three years prior to a run on the Flat last month. If coming on from that outing and, retaining ability, he shouldn't be ruled out.
An extended handicap steeplechase for five years old and upwards (130 = 11st 12lbs) Penalties - Winner of a steeplechase after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each steeplechase won.
