Formscan By Tom Weekes - Reappearing DUFFYS HODEY is something of a handicap blot competing over fences for just the second time. It took until last season for him to show worthwhile and consistent form but, in that time, climbed from a hurdle rating of 81 to 112. He was pulled up on his sole chase start in January 2024 but is better than that, likes soft ground and an experienced 7lb claimer lightens the burden for good measure. Hitthehayson has been running well but debuts over fences and seems better on a sound surface. Busy stablemates The Little Yank and Kilashee have won 15 races between them and revert from hurdling.
An extended handicap steeplechase for five years old and upwards rated 0-100
