Formscan By John O'Riordan - A winner in a similar grade at Clonmel last month, FENWAY PARK can follow up. Although that race was over two-miles, the Andrew McNamara-trained gelding has form over this longer trip and, looks especially well treated at the weights. The son of Malinas is also proven on testing ground and, appears to have plenty going for him in this bid to make it two in a row. Rocky's Howya also comes into this race on the back of a win. Also successful in claiming company last time, the Declan Queally-trained 10-year-old is likely to attempt to make all. Noble Birth is best in on official ratings but will need to step up on recent form if he is to prevail.
A hurdle for five years old and upwards to be claimed for #15,000 or less (Minimum claiming price #4,000)
Weights - 12st.
