FormscanBy Donal Murphy - The rain softened ground won't inconvenience LE GRAND VERT and he is taken to follow-up on his Ayr success. Not seen since that March victory, he is a proven stayer and will again be ridden by Oran McGill who claims a valuable 5lb. A dual course and distance winner, Stormy Master is the second choice. Down the field on his return to action at Sligo, that was probably no more than a prep run for this assignment. With Paddy Cleary claiming 7lb, it'll come as no surprise if Thehairyfella manages to follow-up on his recent Downpatrick success. Representing Gavin Cromwell, Sights Unseen and Due Course both warrant respect, while seven-time winner The Little Yank and handicap debutant Yewtree Hill (first time cheekpieces) are others for the shortlist in this competitive affair.
An extended handicap steeplechase for five years old and upwards rated 0-100Penalties - Winner of a steeplechase after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each steeplechase won.
