FormscanBy Alan Magee - CIANKYLE likes to be up with the pace and added to five hurdle wins when scoring over fences at Ballinrobe last October. He made a pleasing reappearance also at Ballinrobe last month and the form looks solid with a number of winners having already come out of the race. Whatsinthecorner won over hurdles here last September and went close a few times over fences last autumn. He reverts to fences after a creditable return in a competitive handicap hurdle at the Punchestown Festival. Filon D’oudairies won a Limerick maiden hurdle this time last year, and now switches to handicap company over fences after a seven months break having taken on some useful sorts in beginners chases. Any market move would be significant. Ingleby Mackenzie is another for the shortlist.
