FormscanBy Michael Graham - The form of RUSHMOUNT's close second on debut in a maiden hurdle over 2m7f at this track looks particularly strong. The Shirocco gelding just failed by a neck and the horse that pipped him has since finished second in a Garde 2 and third in a Grade 1. Nas Na Riogh is up in trip after a pair of runner-up finishes at Navan and Naas, but should deal with it as a former point-to-point winner. The horse that beat him in Navan franked the form in no uncertain terms when winning a Grade 1 novice hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival. Find A Fortune was no match for the odds-on favourite in second at Punchestown last month, but there is likely more to come from him.
A hurdle for five years old and upwards, maidens at starting that are EBF eligible and that have not run as a two or three yr old under Rules of RacingWeights - 11st 12lbs Mares allowed 7lbs
