Formscan By Tom Weekes - HARVARD GUY reverts to a suitable distance and can put a favourable 126 chase-rating to good use. A dual Listed-winner and Grade 3-placed over hurdles in 2023/24, he missed 641 days prior to last November’s return and while well held this season, caught the eye here last time and is well handicapped at today’s distance. Mark Walsh is unable to do the weight on the selection but rides Goraibhmaithagat, who has obvious claims despite being 7lb higher than when scoring here last month. Built By Ballymore is 4lb out of the handicap but ran well in first-time blinkers at Punchestown. Another McManus-runner Uhavemeinstitches is out of an Irish National winner chased home high-class rivals recently but contests her first handicap chase today.
An extended handicap steeplechase for five years old and upwards that have run at least four times in steeplechases up to and including 22nd February 2026
Penalties - Winner of a steeplechase or steeplechases after calculation of the handicap shall carry any penalty or penalties which may be allotted by the Handicapper.
