Formscan By Mark Nunan - The purple patch which John Ryan enjoyed during the summer may be over but Kitty Galore was a good winner for him over fences at Clonmel last week and THAT’S LIFEBUOY has good claims here if none the worse for a fall at Sligo. The daughter of Fame and Glory was an easy winner over hurdles at Limerick in the spring and was runner-up in her first two chases at Roscomon and Tramore. This longer trip will be to her advantage. Goodnightngodbless is closely matched with the selection on ratings and was just run out of things late in the day on her last completed start at Listowel. She has loads of handicap experience which will stand to her but the selection is open to a bit more improvement. Rightplacerightime was second on chase debut at Galway and had Imperial Sachin's behind when fourth at Downpatrick last time. He was deliberate at the obstacles that day but the step up in trip will help him and his trainer enjoyed a treble on Sunday.
A steeplechase for four years old and upwards that have not won a steeplechase that are EBF eligible and that, at entry, are rated 109 or less over hurdles
Weights - 4-y-o 11st 5lbs 5-y-o and up 12st Mares allowed 7lbs
