FormscanBy Mark Nunan - GOLD SUN looked to be travelling like a winner two runs back when he put down on Phillip Enright at the second-last at Wexford and paid the penalty. He stayed on well to gain compensation at Sligo last time (Fairymount Boy back in third) and the extra couple of furlongs here shouldn’t present a problem for the Golan gelding. Topweight Lord Lariat picked up a couple of staying handicap hurdles in mid-summer and he switches to fences now off a potentially lenient mark. Give Him Time has had a productive summer and a 6lb rise for his Downpatrick win shouldn’t prevent a prominent showing. Therellalwaysbeone had a recent spin over hurdles and could make an impact in his first handicap chase, while Clonguile Way ran well over hurdles at Navan and might get competitive if building on that.
