Formscan By John O'Riordan - Runner-up at Ayr when last seen in April, the Stuart Crawford-trained BALLYCOOSE can make a winning reappearance. Lightly raced over fences having had just the four starts, the seven-year-old is open to further improvement this term. Danny Mullins is a positive booking on a gelding who tends to run well off the back of a break. Wexford scorer Watch The Weather will find this easier having struggled in a Grade 3 at Cork last time. A consistent gelding, the eight-year-old is likely to be very competitive for trainer Ray Cody. Magic Tricks needs to step up considerably on recent runs over fences but there is no denying the Gordon Elliott-trained gelding is well handicapped.
An extended handicap steeplechase for four years old and upwards that have not won a steeplechase before 30th April 2023 and that at entry have run at least three times in steeplechases (150 = 11st 12lbs)
Penalties - Winner of a steeplechase or steeplechases after calculation of the handicap shall carry any penalty or penalties which may be allotted by the Handicapper.
