FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Hat-trick chasing PORTACOO has shown much improved form in recent months and can defy his latest 9lb penalty. He showed promise on debut for his current trainer at Sligo in August and having won twice at today's course since, is clearly well suited by a sound surface and these surroundings. English runner Three Platoon has won his last two Flat starts and while he returns to hurdling with a lowly rating of 90, hasn't run in a National Hunt race since a failed steeplechase attempt in September 2023. Sandyman has been running satisfactorily enough recently while 48-race maiden Breagagh was narrowly touched off at Wexford in May and should improve following a recent Flat run.
