FormscanBy Alan Magee - BIGIRA had Doyen For A Drink (won last time at Cartmel) over five lengths behind when taking a 3m handicap hurdle at Wexford this summer and has shown promise when switched to fences on her latest two starts. She also has the benefit of course experience having been fourth to The Friday Man over 2m7f last month. Jouster and Tuckmill have both won handicap hurdles off a mark of 94 this year and the latter was only caught close home last time on his chase debut at Downpatrick. Ballybrack Wood was second on his only point-to-point start and has also shown some promise over hurdles.
