Going - Soft, Yielding to Soft in places - Changed to Soft after R2. Overcast

Formscan By Tom Weekes - Progressive chaser CAVE COURT is rated 15lb higher over fences and reverts to hurdles having indeed won his previous two races in this sphere. He returns from a mini-break but is suited by soft ground and this distance. Must Go Now is very unexposed and caught the eye on handicap debut at Thurles. He should comfortably better his rating but steps up to a higher grade and also returns from a mini-break. Billy Lee Swagger steps up in distance and should compete from his rating, being proven on testing ground while top weight Redstone defeated triple Grade 1-placed King Of Kingsfield when receiving 8lb last October and returns having disappointed at Fairyhouse in December. Rowdy Romeo would ideally prefer further while Striking has hurdles form but would prefer a slightly sounder surface.
