FormscanBy Alan Magee - LOVELY REACTION showed improved form when successful over 2m4f at Leopardstown earlier this month. The Tom Mullins-trained mare is bred to appreciate this extra half-mile and gets the vote to defy a 9lb hike in the ratings. Thedancingfarrier rolled back the years when scoring over course and distance ten days ago and is certainly a big threat off just a 5lb higher mark with John Shinnick good value for his 7lb claim. Jerk also has no stamina concerns after scoring over this trip at Leopardstown last time. He’s Home Again stopped quickly after two out when pulled up in that event but is better judged on his previous second to Buachaillbocht at Punchestown while Rochestown reverts to hurdles off a lowly mark.
An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards rated 80-116Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each hurdle race won.
