FormscanBy Alan Magee - KILKISHEN has proved a good servant to connections and comes here in good form having filled the runner-up spot on his latest two outings in similar events. The ten-year-old had a couple of these behind when beating all bar Sweet Home Chicago at Roscommon and again played his customary prominent role when well-backed at Kilbeggan earlier this month. Roi De Dubai won the Seamus Mulvaney Crockafotha Handicap Hurdle at Bellewstown last year and went close to a repeat win in that 2m4f event when just edged out on the run-in by Abraham earlier this month. He’s entitled to progress from that run, a first in eight months, and should make a bold bid along with top-weight Flooring Porter and Gun Merchant.
