FormscanBy Alan Magee - Panama Hat bids to extend his amazing winning sequence in handicaps to six. The Andy Oliver-trained gelding has risen a whopping 48lb since scoring at Leopardstown in June and, having been given a six-week break, showed no signs that the run of success will come to an end as he stepped up in class to convincingly land a €50,000 event at Dundalk last month. However a new mark of 108 is really putting it up to Chris Hayes’ mount. ADJUSTED is an interesting contender. The Ballydoyle representative seemed to really appreciate the much faster ground when opening his account here after a four-month break. A rating of 95 is a stiff task on his handicap debut but more improvement can be expected and this extra quarter mile should also suit. Artful Artist and Show Court renew rivalry after filling the first two placings in the Friday evening feature at the Galway Festival, and Dermot Weld’s charge may now come out on top at the revised terms.

An extended handicap for three yrs old and upwards which are E.B.F. eligible and that, at entry, have run at least twice under any Rules of Racing and are eligible for a handicap rating (105 = 9st 12lb)
Weights - Top weight in the original handicap; shall not be less than 9st 12lb
Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 5lb extra for each race won Any horse rated above 105 shall initially be treated as having that rating and the highest weight allotted shall be 9st 12lb. Subsequently, the excess over 105 in any rating shall be added to the weight allotted to that horse. (For the purpose of this note, any three year old rated above 105 shall have the applicable weight for age allowance then prevailing deducted from the horse's rating prior to the original calculation of the handicap)
