FormscanBy Michael Graham - DOYEN FOR A DRINK departed at the penultimate flight when travelling well in the lead at Limerick last month. She encounters similar trip and ground, so should be heavily involved. Coffeys Forge has been out of form, but has joined Gordon Elliott who is well able to reinvigorate new recruits. Peter Smithers takes 7lb off top-weight Elusive Guy's back and his sixth in a slightly better class of race at Limerick over Christmas gives him a chance. Mount Shenshan drops back in trip after a fourth place at Ballinrobe in the summer and she isn't out of it on her handicap debut.
An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards rated 0-100Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each hurdle race won.
