FormscanBy Gary Carson - CHOSEN SHANT has been knocking on the door and may be able to gain a deserved victory here. The Shantou mare was third to The Niffler on her last start at Naas and that form looks fairly solid as the winner struck again the other day at Tipperary. Bigira ran a nice race on her handicap debut when fourth at Limerick last month. She led briefly turning for home before fading a touch after a mistake two out. There could be more to come from her. A Nod To Getaway ran a couple of solid races at Clonmel earlier in the year and is another that has to come into the mix.
An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards rated 80-95
Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each hurdle race won.
