Formscan By Gary Carson - BATTLE OF RIDGEWAY was a winner over hurdles when last seen at Clonmel in May and this looks like a nice starting point for him over fences. The Califet gelding scored on his handicap debut on his last outing and went up to a mark of 101 for that victory. That means he is a pound below the limit for this restricted contest. The fact that he has point-to-point experience is a plus. Tomas O Maille is on the top mark of 102 over hurdles and again this is a perfect place to start him off over fences. He was consistent without winning over the smaller obstacles. Uncle Gerhard was placed in a couple of handicap hurdles in the spring and is another that has to be considered back over fences, having been a fair enough fifth on his sole outing here back in March 2022.
A steeplechase for four years old and upwards that have not won a steeplechase and that at entry are rated 102 or less over hurdles
