FormscanBy Tom Weekes - WITHOUT EXCEPTION ran well in a higher-grade handicap here during Christmas and is ideally suited by conditions. A heavy-ground winner last February, he disappointed at Punchestown in November but ran well on his latest start, with both the fourth and fifth-placed horses in that race scoring subsequently. Veteran Cahirdown Boy was an unlucky loser of a Cork handicap chase 24 days ago and while he is now rated 106 in that sphere, hasn’t scored over hurdles since 2021. Busy eight-time winner The Little Yank has been raised 5lb following his Clonmel success and should get involved.

An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards rated 0-100
