FormscanBy Alan Magee - SPHAGNUM has been in good form this summer winning over 2m4f at Sligo and again over a slightly longer trip at this venue last month with Diamondinthemud back in third. The selection retains the cheek pieces that were fitted here for the first time and can defy a 6lb rise under regular partner Denis O’Regan. Hereditary Rule has made hay over fences this year winning three times over various trips and reverts to hurdles off a much lower mark with an obvious chance. Inforapenny comes here on a consistent run of form that includes a win over 2m4f at Bellewstown, while Wee Willie Nail switches to handicap company after a trio of runs here in maidens.
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.
