Formscan By John O'Riordan - An impressive winner on his handicap debut at Punchestown last month, POURQUOI POI can follow up. Stepping up to this trip for the first time, the Paul Flynn trained four-year-old led before the last and, went clear on the run-in. Despite being hit with an 11lb hike for that success, he could easily be ahead of the handicapper. It is surely significant that Jack Kennedy, who was on board last time, remains loyal to the Ocovango gelding. Dairy Force shaped well enough when runner-up at Clonmel recently to suggest he can be competitive off a mark of 102. A former maiden hurdle winner, the Liam O'Brien trained gelding is lightly raced. Cathryns Ruby would also have claims on her recent Wexford win.

An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards (110 = 11st 12lbs)
Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each hurdle race won.
