FormscanBy Gary Carson - The Flat recruit STIVERS is an interesting prospect here tackling jumps for the first time. He was a Group 3 winner in his native Argentina and was also placed in Group 1 company. He hasn't shown that level since joining Dermot Weld last year but a switch of tack here might ignite a spark and if he can recapture some of his old form he'd be a smart novice hurdler. Broomfields Jeremy was understandably no match for Malone Road here a fortnight ago but it was a decent effort to chase him home and he should run well again. Fortune Street was a touch disappointing when last seen at Down Royal in January but on previous form he'd be in the mix in this company.
