FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Most of these have been racing over further of late, so much depends on which ones cope best with the drop in trip. Topweight TAKE ALL is usually a sound jumper, who tends to race up with the pace or make the running. With Shane Fenelon taking 7lb off his back, the Shark Hanlon-trained nine-year-old can race off a mark 6lb below the one he won off at Wexford last July. Donacheady Gale has to be of interest on just his third run back after a long absence. The John Ryan-trained gelding is very lightly raced, so remains open to further improvement over fences. Dual hurdles winner Marelly has yet to shine since switching trainers and being sent chasing. However, the Sageburg gelding is undoubtedly well handicapped if retaining ability.
