FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - DRAYCOTT PLACE, a 126-rated hurdler, has the benefit of a previous course success to his name. It looks significant that he starts off over the larger obstacles as a mere five-year-old. Anyone that witnessed the Oscar gelding sluice home in a point-to-point at Ballingarry last November, is unlikely to be surprised that John Ryan has now started his charge out on this path. Draycott Place attacked his fences with relish on that occasion and Andrew Lynch will doubtless be looking forward to a good spin aboard the well-regarded youngster. There may be only four runners in this two miles seven furlong event, but in Definite Ruby, in particular, Draycott Place has a strong opponent. Gordon Elliott's mare already has four chase outings under her belt and these have merited an official mark of 116. She receives four pounds from the selection and she also has the assistance of Barry Geraghty in the plate. He wore cheek-pieces once in the past and perhaps Abolitionist can now be helped by the addition of a hood.
