FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Runner-up on three of his five starts over hurdles, ARCTIC GALE can make the breakthrough. A bumper winner at Fairyhouse last October, the Emmet Mullins-trained five-year-old has shown enough since going jumping to suggest he can win a race of this nature. A reproduction of his Galway run in particular would make him hard to beat in this company. Unbeaten point-to-point and bumper winner Kish Bank rates a serious threat. The Gordon Elliott-trained gelding was an impressive winner of his sole start between the flags, while the form of his subsequent bumper win has worked out nicely. Lightly raced mare The Diddler is another that should be involved having shown ability in her short career to date.
A hurdle for four years old and upwards, maidens at starting that are EBF eligible and which had been purchased as an unraced three or four year old at Public Auction under the hammer in Ireland or Great Britain for #30,000 or less at a recognised National Hunt Store Sale and that have not been purchased at Public Auction under the hammer in Ireland or Great Britain for any more than #30,000 at any time and that have not won a race under any N.H. Rules or Rules of Racing other than one I.N.H. flat race or N.H. flat race value not more than #12,000
