FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Bowes Lodge Stables Partnership had a nice winner recently when Rock Road scored at the first time of asking for Willie Mullins at Kilbeggan, and the same owner/trainer combination could strike here with CONTINGENCY. Brian Hayes rode Rock Rock but it will be champion jockey Paul Townend that will climb aboard Contingency, as she bids to remain unbeaten over fences. Her initial mark at this game, 133, equates to a lovely racing weight of ten stone nine for this assignment. What she lacks for in experience she can make up with the bit of pace she has around here over this two mile one furlong trip. She has won over further but she’s Flat bred and was placed over a mile and six on the level. Gigginstown House Stud, Henry de Bromhead and Gordon Elliott are all well represented. Ornua is one of three for de Bromhead and despite his top-weight impost he can show up well with the benefit of a recent run under his belt.
