Formscan By John O'Riordan - Runner-up when sent off market leader for a handicap at Galway last month, SHODA can recover those losses. A maiden winner at the corresponding festival a year ago, the Joseph O'Brien-trained filly has been lightly raced in the interim. Given her proven ability to stay two-miles with an ease in the ground, the four-year-old looks the one to beat. A Flat winner in France as a three-year-old, Highwind won over hurdles on his debut for Willie Mullins. Although yet to replicate that initial success, the gelding shouldn't be written off by any means. The in-foal Curious Bride is worth another chance having been hampered early on when disappointing at Leopardstown recently.
An extended handicap for four years old and upwards (90 = 10st 4lbs)
Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
