FormscanBy Gary Carson - INCLUSION races off a nice weight here with Kieran Callaghan taking 7lb off her back. The Shirocco mare was last seen winning over timber at Downpatrick and beat a decent sort then in Sam's Choice, who went on to win a competitive handicap hurdle at Leopardstown and is currently rated 121. Her jumping left a bit to be desired on his sole previous chase start at Tramore but she was a point-to-point winner last year and this looks a nice opportunity for her. Changing The Rules has been placed on his last couple of outings and looks an obvious contender. He had Itwasfate behind in third when chasing home Too Bright at Kilbeggan last time and may be able to confirm placings.
