FormscanBy Michael Graham - There is likely to be plenty of pace on here as Kilbree Warrior wears her heart on her sleeve and races clear off the front. She routed the field in a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle before Christmas and reappears under the 7lb penalty. Global Equity has to shoulder 12st 6lb after winning a mares' handicap hurdle by eight lengths in Thurles. Her chance is certainly respected, however, this race could set up well for BELLE METAL who has each-way claims on seasonal reappearance. She travelled into contention, but weakened before the last over 3m at Punchestown in May. She won a Listed bumper at this track and will enjoy the forecast testing conditions. Kieran Callaghan's 7lb claim is more than useful on Robyndeglory.
An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards mares only (123 = 11st 12lbs)Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each hurdle race won.
