Formscan By Mark Nunan - Four of these ran in the Lartigue Hurdle at Listowel in September and that four-year-old handicap looks a key formline for this valuable contest. Last Kingdom, a course and distance winner here earlier in the year, was always in a good position when winning in first-time cheekpieces at the Kerry venue and is probably still on the right side of the handicapper despite an 8lb rise. Runner-up at Listowel, Fred Winter winner Puturhandstogether landed a gamble in the Irish Cesarewitch just three days later and has to enter calculations. Only sixth in the Lartigue, LUKER’S TIPPLE ran a better race at Navan last time and blinkers are an interesting addition to the bottom weight. %0A%0A
An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards that have run at least four times in hurdle races up to and including 16th November 2025
Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race or hurdle races after calculation of the handicap shall carry any penalty or penalties which may be allotted by the Handicapper.
