FormscanBy John O'Riordan - A winner of his maiden hurdle at Tipperary in May, TOOR KHOV could be well handicapped off 116. The runner-up, who has won twice subsequently and is now rated 126, gives the form a particularly strong look. Although dropping back half-a-mile is an obvious concern, the Margaret Flynn-trained gelding is of obvious interest. Twice successful over fences, The Big Chap reverts to hurdling off a 13lb lower mark. Having finished third in a Listed handicap chase at Killarney recently, the Paul Flynn-trained seven-year-old will find this easier. Walk Away Harry has to be considered if the ground remains on the quick side. Wearing a first-time visor, the Charles Byrnes-trained gelding is undoubtedly well handicapped over hurdles.
