FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Given the manner in which he bolted up at Thurles on Thursday, SKONTONOVSKI is hard to oppose. Clearly well handicapped relative to his all-weather form, the Ado McGuinness-trained gelding travelled strongly before quickening clear of his rivals. Under a mandatory 7lb penalty, the son of Harbour Watch should make it back-to-back wins. Superior Council ran very well when third over an inadequate trip at Navan last time. Back over 7f on easier ground, the Johnny Levins-trained gelding should be competitive. Dual winner Wrist Art should find this easier having shaped with promise in slightly higher grades on recent starts. Tim Doyle's gelding should be helped by his riders claim.

An extended handicap for three years old and upwards rated 47-65
Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
