FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - A beginners chase for horses that haven’t won a hurdle, and indeed quite a few of them have no successes to their names all told. In the point-to-point fields Ran Rite, THE ECHO BOY, Champagne Beauty, My First Symphony and Oscar Madness have all achieved wins. One of those, The Echo Boy, is the suggestion over Bal De Rio (4 Flat wins), Whatsyourstatus and Our Majella. The Echo Boy finished ahead of Champagne Beauty when second to Jack Hackett at Kilbeggan nearly a fortnight ago. An extended two miles and five should be good for Dermot McLoughlin’s charge. Danny Hand’s seven pound claim is no negative either.
A steeplechase for four years old and upwards that have not won a steeplechase and that at entry have NOT WON A HURDLE RACEWeights - 4-y-o 11st 3lbs 5-y-o and up 12st Mares allowed 7lbs
