FormscanBy Michael Graham - Darragh O'Keeffe is a notable booking for MACIVER who bids to exploit his much lower hurdle mark. He didn't run badly in fifth on his seasonal reappearance in Limerick and will absolutely love the testing conditions on offer. One Horse Army has been extensively chasing, and delivered twice over fences last season, but is another on an attractive hurdle rating if he returns from a lengthy break in form. Danesfort Mayfly hasn't been seen since winning at Tramore more than a year ago, so a market check is necessary. She is reunited with Danny Mullins, and trip and ground are fine. Gordon Elliott's returning Spinola Bay is another to monitor in the market.
