Formscan By Alan Magee - BRUCEJACK filled the runner-up spot in this race last year and can put his jumping experience to good use. The Pat Fahy-trained gelding handles testing ground and also finished second behind Ney at Punchestown last season. Sophia Rose won a Sligo maiden hurdle this summer and made a creditable start over fences when runner-up to Seskin Flash at Downpatrick last month, while Magic Boum represents powerful connections and has already won a point-to-point and maiden hurdle. Rolly Bowley Boy has been placed many times over fences, but his jumping still gives some cause for concern.

A steeplechase for four years old and upwards that have not won a steeplechase and that at entry are rated 110 or less over hurdles
Weights - 4-y-o 11st 3lbs 5-y-o and up 11st 12lbs. Mares allowed 7lbs.
