Formscan By Tom Weekes - SAM'S CHOICE is useful and has plenty hurdling experience. His form was good last season, stays well and while pulled up at the Punchestown festival in April, his yard was out of sorts at the time and today's race is manageable, and he seems ground-versatile. Inclusion was beaten by a subsequent Listed winner at Ballinrobe last month but is better judged by the third-placed horse who was beaten at Listowel subsequently. She is nonetheless reasonably capable and is helped by her rider's 7lb claim. Stablemate Grivei ran well on debut but disappointed when racing too keen twice subsequently and has plenty to prove over this distance on jumps debut. Hot As Pepper was reported to have 'blood at the nostrils' following her Bellewstown disappointment but has been freshened up, was previously capable in bumpers and also won a point-to-point on debut last November. Kilbree Warrior has minor place claims under a light weight.
