FormscanBy Mark Nunan - DYLAN OAK was beaten less than two lengths in a couple of handicap starts over this trip in the early part of the summer and his fifth to Shiroccoville at Killarney last time was another solid effort. Denis Cullen’s charge, who has invariably been strong in the market in recent outings, has fair claims in a very open contest. Callaghy Rose is one of two in here for Gordon Elliott and has twice run well at Navan this year including when fourth to Direct Image earlier this month. Better Than Heaven won on handicap debut at the same venue in June and is up 8lb for that which looks harsh enough. Ben Thomson was runner-up in a maiden at Clonmel in the spring and his fifth to Dark Spark at Kilbeggan last time is useful form as well. He’s another to consider back up in trip for his first run in a handicap.
