FormscanBy Tom Weekes - THE MOUSE DOCTOR has been in excellent form and can gain a sixth win. He has raced just ten times over hurdles and remains a fraction unexposed in this sphere, and comes here having run another good race when third in a Grade B race at Killarney last month. Shumaker is a proven handicapper who was thoroughly progressive in winning three handicap hurdles on soft ground last October. He has since shown good form on a sound surface, winning twice on the flat, and while well enough held on his latest handicap hurdle run at Galway, that was in a higher rated handicap and he should go well. Mandarin Monarch has already won eight times and while he comes here clearly fit and well, might proven vulnerable to a few better handicapped types. Chosen Hour is without a recent run but is rated 7lbs higher over fences following his Punchestown beginners chase win last January. He would ideally prefer a longer trip but has at least won at this trip in the past. Silver Star has been running well in defeat in similar handicaps recently and has place claims. Arthur Fonzarelli showed improved form to win at Killarney last month and while in truth he stole the race at the start, he is nonetheless interesting in his first handicap from 114. Ashton Court loves finishing second but faces a tougher task today than his recent good efforts in defeat. Scalor beat a subsequent winner at Killarney in July but faces a tougher task than when third at Clonmel latest.%0A
