FormscanBy Gary Carson - Richard O'Brien had his eye on this race after EXTRAPOLATION won his beginners chase at Ballinrobe in late May and he looks like the horse in the field with the potential to improve. A mark of 127 doesn't look harsh given the way he won from a decent rival in Mighty Tom last time. Dreal Deal's form over fences has been good in recent months and back over the larger obstacles he could be a danger. Flooring Porter is the eye-catching runner here but the former dual Stayers Hurdle winner may find this trip sharp enough on this kind of ground.
