FormscanBy Gary Carson - BOLD EMPEROR ran a cracker at Fairyhouse last time and may be able to go one better now. He travelled well to dispute after the third last then but just couldn't go with Mig Des Taillons in the closing stages. The winner is a decent sort and they pulled nicely clear so Tom Gibney's charge looks to have a big shout despite a 3lb rise for that effort. This trip may suit him better than some of the others. Jiving Jerry has been in fine form but drops back again in trip having been runner-up over two-miles-two at Fairyhouse last time. Melly And Me won over two-miles-six but seems versatile trip-wise. He didn't run too badly on his handicap debut at Navan back in January and looks one to keep an eye on, on his return, for an in-form yard.%0A
