FormscanBy Tom Weekes - RED BALL OF FIRE hasn't won since July 2023 but has been running well and is ideally suited by race conditions. A Sligo regular, she now drops in class having run well in two recent chases and - notably, possesses the top allowed hurdles' rating of 109 while her 7lb mares' allowance is allied to her rider's 5lb claim. Kilbeggan maiden hurdle winner Hardy Diamomd also has a mares' allowance and having run reasonably well over hurdles at Gowran last week, should compete on chase debut, as she has prior point-to-point experience. Mister Wilson is flattered by his 116 chase rating and was soundly beaten in a recent claiming hurdle. English runner Boomslang has recent form but debuts over fences.
