Formscan By Gary Carson - The ground will be much more suitable for SIXANDAHALF here after she skipped Fairyhouse due to testing conditions. The Snow Sky mare takes a drop in grade now after being nabbed late on in the Mares’ Novice Hurdle at Cheltenham by Air Of Entitlement. She looked all set for victory then after travelling well to lead before the last and should prove hard to beat now in this company. Karamoja could be the danger after a solid run to finish third in the aforementioned Grade 1 contest at Fairyhouse. Willie Mullins is also represented by Karoline Banbou, who was sixth at Fairyhouse, and she also has to enter calculations.
A novice hurdle for four years old and upwards mares only that are EBF eligible that have not won a Grade 1, Grade 2 or Grade 3 weight-for-age hurdle race
Weights - 4-y-o 10st 8lbs 5-y-o and up 11st
Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race 4lb extra Of two hurdle races or a hurdle race value #12,500 7lb extra
