Formscan By Michael Graham - OLLIE LA BA BA could be the answer to a weak race. Eoin McCarthy's charge posted a decent effort in second behind an odds-on favourite in an auction maiden hurdle at Cork this month. That is strong form in the context of this race. Safran Et Bleu is a newcomer to note by virtue of being related to a host of multiple winners while Paul Nolan takes the wraps off Release The Beast who is well worth a market check. Mac's Xpress has plenty of experience over flights and has been placed in his last couple of outings albeit beaten a fair way in Listowel.
A hurdle for four years old and upwards, maidens at starting that are EBF eligible and which had been purchased as an unraced three or four year old at Public Auction under the hammer in Ireland or Great Britain for #45,000 or less at a recognised National Hunt Sale and that have not been purchased at Public Auction under the hammer in Ireland or Great Britain for any more than #45,000 at any time and that 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 value not more than #12,000
Weights - 4-y-o 11st 11lbs 5-y-o and up 11st 12lbs Mares allowed 7lbs
