Formscan By Tom Weekes - BIG DISPUTE had promising form last year and will be sharper following an encouraging recent Flat reappearance. A debut bumper winner in 2023, the selection’s initial hurdling form was ordinary but was placed in useful maidens last year. The form of his Killarney runner-up effort reads well while winners have also emerged from his races at today’s course in October, and at Clonmel in November. Thisain’tthat was keen at Limerick in March but ran well in Clonmel can progress while Blue Train steamrolled bookmakers at Clonmel but is 10lb higher. Royal Soldier was an unlucky loser at Fairyhouse but is 5lb higher and has top weight. Lightly-raced four-year-old Shirzan won well at Limerick and can progress.
