FormscanBy Donal Murphy - A typically competitive renewal of this Grade B contest. Willie Mullins holds a strong hand, saddling both ROCK ROAD and Mi Lighthouse. Preference is for the former who has won three times in six starts since joining the team at Closutton. A winner on his last two outings over fences, he was again successful over flights on his most recent start at Galway. The hat-trick seeking Mi Lighthouse gets second preference on what will be her debut in handicap company. Given a mark of 125, she should be able to make her presence felt here with Jack Foley taking 3lb off. Fils d'Oudairies is an interesting contender for Gordon Elliott. A runner-up at the Aintree and Punchestown Festivals, he finished a solid fifth on his return to action at Galway. Back over fences now for the first time since April of 2021, a bold bid looks likely. Henry de Bromhead, Jessica Harrington and John Ryan are all double-handed. Harrington saddles Discordantly and Exit Poll, with the former fitted with a visor for the first time, while Ryan's Ferdia will be attempting to follow-up on a recent win at Tramore.
An extended handicap steeplechase for four years old and upwards that have run at least three times in steeplechases up to and including 16th August 2022
Penalties - Winner of a steeplechase or steeplechases after calculation of the handicap shall carry any penalty or penalties which may be allotted by the Handicapper.
