FormscanBy Gary Carson - There may be a bit more to come from FOND FAREWELL, who swooped late to win over course and distance back in April. He only has a 3lb higher mark now and it was interesting to hear his rider report that he had a little blow pulling up last time and that further improvement could be forthcoming. Notturno has been knocking on the door and has to be on the shortlist but a wide draw in 19 isn't a help. Bigz Belief was a good winner over hurdles at Sligo last time and had also run well on the level prior to that. He looks another that has to be given serious consideration.
