FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Despite having questions to answer now after failing to complete on his three most recent starts, the Paul Nolan-trained JOYEUX MACHIN looks the one to beat. Twice a winner at this venue, the seven-year-old seems to reserve his best for his local track where he rarely runs a bad race. Antrim Coast was just denied over this trip at Cheltenham in October, having won his maiden over 2m4f on his previous start. The Gavin Cromwell-trained six-year-old has leading claims. Oscars Brother was impressive when winning his maiden hurdle over this distance at Limerick before running respectably in two subsequent starts. The more rain that comes the stronger his chances of providing Connor King with a first winner in the training ranks.
A hurdle for four years old and upwards that have not won a hurdle race value not more than #10,000 and have not finished first, second or third in a Grade 1, Grade 2 or Grade 3 weight-for-age hurdle race
