FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Having shown up well in some decent maiden hurdles over the winter, THE GREAT UNKNOWN could prove to be well treated off a mark of 104 on her first venture into handicap company. The Henry De Bromhead-trained mare should be suited to stepping up in trip here having run well when third on her only point-to-point start. Recent Wexford winner Safran Et Bleu has been raised 6lb but is a lightly raced gelding that could still be progressing. New Year Honours was pulled up on her most recent outing over flights but has won on the flat subsequently. Very well handicapped over jumps relative to her rating on the level, the Gordon Elliott-trained five-year-old commands respect.
An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards rated 80-109Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each hurdle race won.
