FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Eric McNamara, who loves to line one up for this relatively local track, has two strong chances in the shape of Say It So and IFITWASME. The latter, who opened his account on the Flat at Tipperary in July, arguably has the more scope for improvement. Having had just the three starts over hurdles, the four-year-old could be nicely handicapped off a mark of 95. Say It So is bidding to follow up having registered a first success over flights at Cork last month. Although now 6lb higher, the Raven's Pass gelding looks one of the more likely winners. Ah Remy Martin has shaped well enough in his short career to date to suggest that he is another capable of getting involved at the business end of this race.
An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards rated 80-109
