FormscanBy Tom Weekes - WOODBROOK BOY has flopped on occasions but comes here a potentially nicely handicapped hurdler. A dual point-to-point winner, he failed to win in five hurdle starts but this year has progressed very well over fences. He was well enough held at Kilbeggan latest and was pulled up at Tramore in August but they were from a 125 rating and he reverts to hurdles today rated just 95 for an in-form yard. Padraic O'Conaire is a previous course and distance winner with recent form but would prefer a sound surface while Dualla Time and Hussle Up are long absent but have some claims on previous best form. Withallduerespect was well held on handicap debut recently. Exit To The West won her latest point-to-point start but that was back in February and she had previously been well enough beaten in two handicap hurdles.
