FormscanBy Michael Graham - This looks an ideal trip for ROBYNDEGLORY. She returned from a break to make all over an extended two miles one in a mares' maiden hurdle at Killarney last month. She certainly earned that success having been runner-up five times in mares' maiden hurdles. With a mark of 102, she just gets into this race at the top of the weights and can make her presence felt. Mick The Jiver is looking to exploit a 23lb lower mark over hurdles than fences. His last outing came in November 2020 when seventh in the Cork Grand National. There is no doubt he is well handicapped in this sphere, but he has the absence of over a year to overcome and has needed his first run back in the past. Hardwired ought to be in contention for a cheque particularly with Shane O'Callaghan taking 7lb off his back. Spancil Hill is another rated much lower over hurdles than fences. He looks best of the rest.
