Formscan By Alan Magee - DESERTMORE HOUSE has shown his best form over fences notably when successful in the Kerry National at Listowel last year and reverts to hurdles off a 16lb lower mark compared to his chase rating. The selection was a creditable third to Noble Birth on his last hurdle start over 2m6f at Naas this spring and should be spot on after a couple of recent outings over fences. Real Steel held a career high rating of 166 over fences four years ago and has been rejuvenated by Eric McNamara to land two big handicaps including the Munster National last month. He also reverts to hurdles off an attractive mark, while others to consider include Shadow Rider and easy Sligo maiden winner Great Universe.
An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards
Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each hurdle race won.
