Formscan By Mark Nunan - RAINBOW CONNECTION was no match for a useful winner when second in a Galway maiden but her previous fourth on soft ground at Gowran was creditable and a capable 7lb claimer now takes the ride on her handicap debut. Ross O’Sullivan’s runner had some good runs in point-to-points and may well be suited by stepping up to this trip. Alright Darling won over farther at Thurles and her subsequent third on heavy ground at Gowran was a solid effort. Wexford runner-up King’s Son is another handicap debutant who makes some appeal as he goes over a longer trip. Head For Home and Pleasureofpressure are closely matched on Punchestown form but neither is proven on testing ground. %0A
An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards rated 0-100
Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each hurdle race won.
