FormscanBy Gary Carson - SIBERIAN STAR won well when landing a nice gamble at Leopardstown last month and may be able to secure a follow up win. The Sulamani gelding was value for a bit more than his two-and-three-quarter length win when better ground brought about improvement. He went up 8lb for that and James O'Sullivan can only claim 5lb now as opposed to 7lb then. The other last time out winner Seangoell is an obvious threat. She has 6lb more to carry after winning over course and distance last month. The ground will be a lot sharper for her now. Earths Furies was beaten a fair way when third in a maiden hurdle here last month but could get involved now on his handicap debut.
