FormscanBy Mark Nunan - In-form Tallow handler Ken Budds was on the scoresheet at the most recent meeting here and felt that he was unlucky not to have had a double as STORMALONG got shuffled back at a crucial stage before staying on well to finish third over this trip. That form has been boosted and the bumper winner, who was consistent in late summer last year, may be able to make the breakthrough over hurdles. Baltinglass Hill, who won this three years ago, was touched off at Wexford on Friday by a horse that finished just behind the selection here last month. Course and distance maiden winner Drumgill followed up at Sligo last week and a 7lb penalty leaves him with a welter burden.
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.
