FormscanBy Gary Carson - Better ground seemed to make a big difference to TELL US THIS at Down Royal earlier in the month, where he won but was subsequently disqualified. The Westerner gelding still looked plenty green then, edging right in the closing stages and hampering Benjis Benefit. He runs off a 6lb higher mark now and may be able to gain compensation after losing the race on appeal. Luimneach returns from an absence but could play a big part on his seasonal debut. The Fame And Glory gelding has dropped 3lb since last being seen at Fairyhouse in April 2023 and this nice ground should play to his strengths. Dreamz ran a big race on her last visit here and is another that has to come into calculations.
An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards rated 80-109
Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each hurdle race won.
