FormscanBy Tom Weekes - GIVE ME A BREAK comes here from the right side of the handicap having progressed in recent times and might be open to further progression. She is a half sister to good hunter chaser On The Fringe and can do better with more racing. Caim Hill is 11 now but is showing no signs of it and won his second Midlands National recently. He now competes from 1lb below that winning chase rating and is further helped by his rider's valuable 7lbs claim. Kilcarry Bridge has gone up the ratings having done well in recent months and cannot be totally dismissed despite being well beaten latest. Ellie Mia won her maiden on her last run and has claims in her first handicap while the normally free going Dazzling Susie was held up latest and did run on to some effect. Oscar Buzz is consistent and can also figure.

Weights - Top weight in the original handicap shall; not be less than 11st 10lb
Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap to carry 6lb extra for each hurdle race won.
