FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Having done remarkably well to finish as close as he did when runner-up at Ballinrobe last time, EVANS SECRET can gain compensation here. Badly hampered by a faller early in the race, the Mark McNiff trained gelding was keeping on strongly when again suffering interference at the final flight. Granted better luck in running, the five-year-old can register a first career success. Cosmic Blizzard has to be of interest on his return to hurdles. Although a beaten favourite over fences at Clonmel last time, he had earlier gone close when second at Limerick. Sam Curling's five-year-old can race off a 16lb lower mark over flights. Fourth on her handicap debut at Ballinrobe, the lightly raced Mini Getaway has scope for improvement.
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.
