FormscanBy Michael Graham - YOUNGNEDOFTHEHILL has been runner-up in five of his last six races and has each-way prospects. It's hard to knock his form as he has run into some in-form rivals who have boosted the form since. He keeps climbing the weights without getting his reward, but Conor McNamara's 5lb claim could be invaluable in this competitive race. Important Message ran away with an extended two and a half mile handicap hurdle here on Saturday, and is an obvious threat off 8lb higher, if as effective over this shorter trip. Davy Russell has been booked. Shamad was a beaten favourite in second over a similar trip at this venue on Saturday. He has to go on the shortlist. Oromo reverts to hurdles after winning his last two races on the flat. It is well over a year since he landed his sole success over flights, so he may be best watched. Laureate was a decisive winner in Limerick after reportedly working well and has to be considered. She got a 7lb hike for that victory and has to defy top weight of 12 stone.
