FormscanBy Alan Magee - EXTENSIO won his only hurdle start in a Roscommon maiden last summer and has progressed well since on the Flat notably winning a valuable handicap last time at the York Ebor meeting. The Pat O’Donnell-trained gelding is now rated 92 on the Flat and could be on a reasonable mark back over flights. Presenting Lad has been in good form this year and added to two chase wins when successful over hurdles at Kilbeggan last month. The lightly traced Old Bill Barley was about three lengths back in third but didn’t enjoy much luck in running and may reverse the places. The Niffler won over course and distance in May while Expound and Vischio are two light weights that also appeal.
