Formscan By Gary Carson - REAL APPEAL may be good enough to a moderate contest. He was well backed at Clonmel last Friday and looked the winner before the straight as he travelled well into contention. He may just prefer this better ground and off the same mark here looks interesting given the confidence in him last time. Hurricane Jojo has run well on her last two starts and looks an obvious danger. She handled this faster ground when third at Cork late last month and should give another bold show. Bright Light City was performing at a better level in the spring and it would be no surprise if he could get involved here now. It was probably a weak enough contest that Sweetheart Susan was second in at Tramore and off a 3lb higher mark she may find things tougher here. Live At Five hasn't shown a lot in three maiden hurdle runs but making his handicap debut off a low mark any money for the JP McManus runner would be interesting. Mountain Lough may strip a bit fitter for his return at Cork last month and could go better now while Sinntani has posted a couple of decent efforts on the level recently and may show more on his return to hurdling now tried in handicap company.

An extended handicap hurdle for four yrs old and upwards rated 80-95
