FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Leinster National winner DIOL KER was a first fence casualty in the Grand National but had previously finished a good second in the Paddy Power last Christmas. He is ground-versatile and stays this distance. Ramillies was pulled up in a Cheltenham Grade 1 but now drops in grade and contests his first handicap while Escaria Ten stays well but was pulled up in at Cheltenham handicap. Champagne Gold was hampered early-on when eventually pulling up at Cheltenham. Darver Star ran well in a lesser race at Wexford while Flegmatik has been running well in similar UK handicaps. Most of Brideswell Lad's form is over middle-distances and while progressive, competes from a career high mark stepping up in grade. Fire Attack jumps left but was a course chase winner last May while Must Be Obeyed pulled up in the Irish National but had previously run well at Navan (beating Percy Warner). Jerandme fell, when disputing the lead, last time and has handicap chase form.
An extended handicap steeplechase for five years old and upwards rated 0-150 that have run at least three times in steeplechases up to and including 25th April 2023
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.
