FormscanBy Gary Carson - SEABANK BISTRO can get his head in front here after a couple of decent placed efforts over timber. He has been beaten at odds on both outings over hurdles but to be fair to him he has run into some decent sorts. The Walk In The Park gelding chased home Corbetts Cross at Limerick over Christmas and that rival has franked the form since with an easy victory in handicap company. Sam Magee shaped nicely when third on his 'track' debut at Down Royal and he could be a danger now. Gordon Elliott saddles two in the race with Davy Russell getting the leg up on Kansas City Star. The Soldier Of Fortune gelding was pulled up when a big price in the Grade 1 Challow Hurdle last time but has to be respected dropping back into maiden company.
A hurdle for five years old and upwards, maidens at starting that are EBF eligible and that have not run as a two or three yr old under Rules of RacingWeights - 11st 12lbs Mares allowed 7lbs
