FormscanBy Tom Weekes - INTERSKY SUNSET was pulled up last month but has form on testing ground and had been generally consistent prior to that Navan run. She progressed well last year and while she might ideally prefer further, today's race will make for a stamina test. Cerberus was twice Grade 1-placed as a juvenile in 2019/20 and while he has been well held on recent runs, is suited by heavy ground and reverts back in distance today. Boothen Boy finished second in last year's earlier-run renewal of this race and while proven on Clonmel-heavy, has a long absence to overcome. Race-fit Action Motion was lying in third when he was a final-flight faller in a Listed race last Christmas but was well held subsequently. Cloudy Tuesday won a hunters chase in 2021 and while he drops markedly following his Thurles run, this season's point-to-point form has been underwhelming. It Could Be You's recent form is also ordinary.
A hurdle for four years old and upwards to be claimed for #15,000 or less (Minimum claiming price #5,000)
