FormscanBy Tom Weekes - SE MO LAOCH might prove best in an open handicap. SE MO LAOCH is a proven and able stayer and while he lacks a recent run, looks capable of winning a hurdle from his 110 rating, which is 20lbs below his chase mark, with easy ground in his favour. Walk Me Home has followed the road less travelled being by Galileo and entering the handicap system with '0000' form-figures but stepping up in trip has made all the difference. She comes here a proven stayer and while pulled up two starts ago, returned to form when second at Cork and being an unexposed 5yo, is open to some more progression at this trip. Eimear is another proven stayer and while she now competes from a career high mark, nonetheless has an obvious chance despite a big weight. Multifactorial is a bumper winner who is interesting on handicap debut under a 5lbs claimer while Theatre World wasn't beaten too far over fences latest and has place claims. Room To Roam steps up to this trip for the first time while proven stayer Tiger Twenty Two might struggle to win from his rating here. Abyssinian stays well but needs to show some more while similarly owned Stamp You Feet has a 13lbs lower hurdles mark to fences but was well beaten at Tipperary last month. King Alex won a maiden hurdle latest but has previously been beaten from 2lbs lower. Presenting Meghan showed greeness in her early hurdles and has a tough task on handicap debut while Handsworth was gambled on his latest start, when second, and is open to more progression being an unexposed 5yo.
