FormscanBy Gary Carson - RICKY BOBBY ran really well at Thurles last time and the previous course and distance winner may be able to strike here. He was run down by Herculaneum on the run-in then but stuck on well again late on to press that winner to a neck. Off a 3lb higher mark he's still capable of being competitive in this grade. The Banger Doyle jumped poorly back over hurdles at Thurles that same day, in a two-and-a-half mile contest. He may have sharpened up a bit from that run and is nicely handicapped over timber. Skinnider is another to consider on her return to action. The Shirocco mare won over course and distance in April before finishing third over further the next month.
An extended handicap hurdle for three years old and upwards (116 = 12st)Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each hurdle race won.
