Formscan By Gary Carson - CHER TARA ran with promise on her first outing for Gordon Elliott at Leopardstown just over two weeks ago and may be able to step forward now. The Kayf Tara mare stayed on from the rear to finish sixth then in a big field and remains on the same mark. Navy Waves ran well on her return to action at Thurles recently and is a consistent sort. She could prove the danger. Ar Nos Na Gaoithe was a good winner at Clonmel last time and has to be respected despite an 8lb hike for that success.

An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards rated 0-100
Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each hurdle race won.
