Formscan By Michael Graham - THE BIG CLOUD reverts back to hurdles and has the ability to win this race. Shane Crawley's mare was a winner over fences at this track in December before falling at Clonmel in January. She has a testing-ground victory over flights at Limerick in her locker. Cry Before Dawn ran well for a long way off the front in Clonmel last week before dropping to third, while Stiltellinemnuttin is a possible improver upon a fifth place over a similar trip here. Lissen To The Lady is worth a market check as although she has been off for more than two years, and starts out for a new stable, she was successful when last seen in Clonmel.
An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards mares only rated 0-100
Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each hurdle race won.
