Formscan By Gary Carson - Gordon Elliott has dominated this race in recent years and UNCLE PAD (6) may be able to give him another success. The Vadamos gelding makes his first start for the yard now having been snapped up by Gigginstown for 310,000stg following his impressive point-to-point win at Ballyvodock last February. Bravemans Call comes here off the back of two good placed efforts in bumpers and is entitled to be a big player. He lost out by just half-a-length at Listowel last time. The Dermot McLoughlin-trained newcomer Malpaso is worth noting in the market. His dam, Dixie Lee, won three times at this venue.

An I.N.H. flat race for four years old and upwards that have not won a race under any N.H. Rules or Rules of Racing (excluding Academy Hurdles and 3-y-o Junior N.H. Hurdles)
Weights - 4-y-o 11st 13lbs 5-y-o and up 12st. Mares allowed 7lbs.
Riders - Qualified Riders under I.N.H.S. Rules. Professional Riders under National Hunt Rules (other than Apprentices) who have not lost the right to claim the 7lb allowance under Rule 52 (up to and including 27th October) may also ride in this race.
