Formscan By Mark Nunan - DESTIVELLE has shown improvement on her last two hurdle starts and travelled well for Daniel King when second over course and distance last month. She was nicely clear of third home Outdoor Mozzy and can go one place better off just a 1lb higher mark. The winner of that Thurles handicap had previously chased home Duke Otto at Tramore and Pat Flynn's charge has to enter calculations off a 6lb higher mark after that breakthrough success which was achieved on heavy ground. Brownstone was another to gain a first win last time out when scoring on soft ground at Fairyhouse and Keith Donoghue, riding so well at the moment, now takes over in the saddle on his brother's charge.%0A
An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards rated 80-95
Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each hurdle race won.
