FormscanBy Tom Weekes - WHATCOULDHAVEBEEN is a smart hurdler who is well suited by this staying flat distance. She has progressed very well in her hurdling career, attaining a Grade 1-placing in April 2023 and ran well behind Teahupoo at the recent Punchestown festival. She was well held on her two most recent flat runs last October but they were pipe-opening seasonal reappearance runs and prior to that, had won on the flat in October 2022. Sceptred Isle has shown nice improvement recently but is 11lb higher than when winning at Tipperary recently. Believe In Science is a 21-race maiden who hasn't run since March but but has some useful placed-form over similar distances.
An extended handicap for four years old and upwards rated 47-70
Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
