FormscanBy Tom Weekes - MIGHTY TOM finished fifth in the recent Galway Hurdle and with his rider's 7lb claim, is now 6lb better off respectively each against re-opposing Icare Desbois, Fascile Mode and Kings Hill. The keen-going selection wasn't fully inconvenienced by that race's very ragged start - being a hold-up horse, but finished really well and has a good course record here. Unlucky May course loser Icare Desbois lost ground to the leaders at the start in the Galway Hurdle but also finished reasonably well, although isn't weighted to turn placings with the selection. Quirky keen-racer Je T'ai Porte reverts to hurdles rated 21lb lower in this sphere, with her rider also claiming 5lb, but has won just once from 11 hurdle outings.
