FormscanBy Alan Magee - FARROKH gets the vote to add to a Tipperary success last year. The Barry Connell-trained gelding was switched to fences after that victory and placed a number of times before returning to hurdles this season. The selection’s third to Sprinkles at Kilbeggan last month has been working out well since and he again picked up minor money at Ballinrobe last time. W B Easy has been generally disappointing since a promising debut last year in the valuable Goffs bumper at the Punchestown Festival but enters calculations on his latest outing in a similar handicap at Ballinrobe. Kaikoura has been knocking on the door while Tubberfinn Lady and Dontgowithjoe are others to consider.
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.
