FormscanBy Tom Weekes - IL COURRA has shown a consistent and useful level of ability in his career thus far and can defy a winners' penalty and score here. IL COURRA has shown progressive hurdles form in recent times and while the winner of his recent Naas race disappointed on Thursday, he beat other useful types. Today's same rider claims 7lbs and he is proven at this trip and surface. Closutton give an airing to a set of cheek-pieces with Cavallino, which did show some encouragement on his Tramore run in December. However the form of that Tramore race is nothing special and he might struggle to beat the selection, whose rider's 7lbs claim might make the difference. Point-to-point winner Fill The Tank also has some handicap chase form to his name and has place claims under his 7lbs claimer. Clay Rogers has also shown some bits of form and has a minor place chance.
