FormscanBy Tom Weekes - SMITHSCORNER has been in excellent form over fences recently and can successfully revert to hurdles here. He has run just twice over hurdles since December 2018 but in that time has progressed very well through the chase ranks and comes here rated 29lbs lower over hurdles than his current chase mark, with trip and ground in his favour today. Kilkeaskins First was ahead of Rightplacerighttime at Bellewstown latest and both have place claims again while Thousand Tears and Ballinaboola Steel are both capable in this grade and comes here in good form, albeit possibly not ahead of the handicapper. Fairyhill Run steps up from a recent maiden hurdle win and is somewhat interesting on handicap debut while The Wonky Tonk was a good ground winner in July but has been well held since. Luis Van Zandt stays very well but disappointed at Punchestown recently.%0A
