FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Race-fit TAKE HEART finished mid-field in the Lincoln and will be better suited to this drier ground. Ideally suited by this distance, he ran well in another valuable Curragh handicap last September and reverts to that same distance. Notstringattached is also suited by this distance. Her form is largely on easy ground but was placed on yielding and, being somewhat unexposed as a lightly-raced type, can progress. Cristal Clere seems ground-versatile and while he has top weight, today's same rider was unable to claim his 7lb allowance when finishing fourth at Listed level recently, for which he has been raised 2lb. Jaafel's show-price collapsed from 9/1 to even-money favourite at Dundalk during madcap Cheltenham-week but was well held in that Claimer and is a 19-race turf maiden who runs for a new trainer. Reappearing Mr King has form but doesn't look ahead off the handicapper while Derry Lad reverts from hurdling last Christmas. This distance will stretch seven-time winner May Night's stamina and he is 3lb out of the handicap.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards (100 = 10st)Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
