FormscanBy Alan Magee - AL GASPARO won a point-to-point for Ciaran Murphy last year and showed promise over hurdles including when runner-up to the odds-on Mirazur West at Fairyhouse. The selection was having his first run for Gavin Cromwell when fourth to Don Chalant at the same venue over Easter and a return to two miles should suit. Touch Me Not was unlucky not to score in his only point-to-point last spring and has been in the money on all three hurdle starts this year. The Gordon Elliott-trained gelding has tended to finish a bit weakly and could be suited by this tighter track, while Whatsyourproblem made a promising start over hurdles at Clonmel but needs to bounce back after a disappointing effort in a Gowran bumper.
A hurdle for five years old and upwards, maidens at starting that at declaration have not won a race under any N.H. Rules or Rules of Racing other than one I.N.H. flat race or N.H. flat race
