Formscan By Mark Nunan - STAFFORDSHIRE KNOT enjoyed a fine spell of form over hurdles during the winter, winning three times including the Grade 2 Boyne Hurdle at Navan in February. He was tried over fences a couple of years ago and chased home a smart type at Fairyhouse on the first of two runs over the larger obstacles. Despite a slight concern about the lively ground, he gets the vote. Stablemate Scalpnagoon was second to a subsequent Punchestown festival handicap winner at Cork, and will enjoy this longer trip. Impero has a good strike-rate over hurdles and is an interesting chasing debutant, as is the third Elliott runner Cinnamon Roll who was a decent novice hurdler last summer. %0A%0A%0A

Quotes on Scalpnagoon (IRE)
I was a bit worried about the ground, but it was a good performance. He showed a good attitude and is a nice horse. He’s a big strong horse that will jump a fence in time. He’s qualified now for the final of this series at Punchestown and knowing me, he’ll probably run again before then. Michael (Hanrahan, owner) is lucky and anything he sends to us seems to win: you can’t beat a bit of luck.After Scalpnagoon (IRE) finished 1st at Naas on Sat, 8th Feb 2025 2m 2f Hurdle Soft

Quotes on Staffordshire Knot (IRE)
we couldn't get Staffordshire Knot to finish races last year, but this year he has just turned the corner. Even looking at him, he is a different horse and I was very happy with his run. I thought it was a good performance and he had fitness on his side. He's qualified for the Pertemps in Cheltenham, so could end up somewhere like that but we'll see as there are Grade 2s and Grade 3s around Ireland where he could pick up a cheque every day.After Staffordshire Knot (IRE) finished 1st at Navan on Sun, 8th Feb 2026 2m 5f Hurdle Heavy
