Formscan By Donal Murphy - Four-year-olds have a good record in this feature contest, winning five of the last 10 renewals. With this in mind, RAYDAMANN is the selection. Running well in stronger contests of late and a close fifth on his most recent start at Galway, his mark of 118 has remained unchanged. The hat-trick seeking Jerrari is the second choice. From the family of Jezki, the Order Of St George five-year-old is clearly a progressive sort and might still be ahead of the handicapper. Lurking at the bottom of the weights, Granpa Ger is tried in first time cheekpieces and warrants the utmost respect with Danny Mullins aboard, while others for the shortlist in this competitive affair are the locally-trained Yosemite Gold, top-weight Expound and course and distance winner Hasten Slowly.
An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards (120 = 11st 12lbs)
Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each hurdle race won.
