FormscanBy Michael Graham - HARDY STUFF ought to appreciate these calmer waters after finishing unplaced in two deep contests at Cheltenham. It was just three runs back that he delivered at Leopardstown which opened up routes to Prestbury Park. Sense Of Occasion has displayed ability in his maiden hurdles and could have a say, while Something Noble has taken to jumping in winning two of his three races and Eoghan Finegan takes a handy 7lb off his back. Arctic Flame was in rude health last year, but faced a stiff task on her comeback run at the Dublin Racing Festival in February so she may be best watched off another break, while Shellrunforbriggs isn't out of contention.
