FormscanBy Gary Carson - TROLL D'OUDAIRIES still held a chance when crashing out at Cork and can make amends here. He was heavily punted to get off the mark last time after finishing a remote third behind the smart Buckers Bridge on his chase debut at Punchestown. He did take a heavy fall but connections will no doubt have been keen to make sure he was well schooled after that and that it didn't leave any marks. Dont Back Down, also a faller last time out, looks the danger. He still held every chance when exiting at Downpatrick. The one worry about him would be that he takes a big drop in trip here. Ros Brin also failed to complete last time in a Grade 3 event here but would have a shout on her previous effort at the track when she was a good third against her own sex. Dangan Daylight was a winner over hurdles here back in March but is perhaps best watched returning from a break and making her first start over the larger obstacles.
