FormscanBy Mark Nunan - There probably hasn’t been a jumps race of this quality and depth at Killarney in many a year. UNEXCEPTED is the least experienced chaser in the line-up but went through a recent handicap at Punchestown like a smart horse before fading late. He’ll hopefully be better for the run and gets all the allowances albeit his stamina is unproven. His stablemates Cilaos Emery and Easy Game are classy types who could win this if at their best and this trip seems ideal for the latter. Last year’s winner Peregrine Run faces a much stiffer task but his recent hurdles run after a lay-off will have delighted his connections. The jury is out on Samcro at the moment but his very presence adds further lustre to the race.
