FormscanBy John O'Riordan - The Paul Flynn-trained RIGHTFOLKSPLEASE can recover losses here having been a beaten favourite at Roscommon earlier in the week. Runner-up on that occasion, the six-year-old had also filled the same position on his penultimate start at Wexford. Having done little wrong in either run, the Policy Maker gelding can register a first career success. La Hacienda looks absolutely thrown in off a hurdles mark of 89 given that she is rated a pound higher on the flat. However, having failed to beat a single rival in two outings on the level since returning from a break, the Matthew Smith-trained mare has questions to answer. Another Bonnie holds claims if fit enough on her first start since last June.
An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards rated 80-95
Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each hurdle race won.
Riders - Confined to Professional & Claiming Professional Riders who have not ridden more than 15 winners under any N.H. Rules from 30th April, 2023 to 4th May, 2024 inclusive. (Qualified Riders are excluded from riding in this race)
