FormscanBy Gary Carson - NIBBLERS CHARM may prove the pick in an open looking contest. He was just collared late on at Ballinrobe last time having looked set for victory after kicking on turning for home. It's interesting that connections try cheekpieces on him now and that may help him concentrate a bit. He needed reminders mid-race in Cork and also wandered slightly then before winning. He doesn't look totally straight-forward and the headgear may focus his mind. Star Adventure won her maiden hurdle here last time and has to be a leading contender. She is entitled to come on from that comeback run but probably needs to to score off a mark of 112 here. Canadian Steel has a good record here but takes a rise in class now off a high enough mark while Flooring Porter looks interesting off a light weight but this is a lot stronger than the race he won in Bellewstown.
