FormscanBy Michael Graham - This trip should be within DGALWAYGALLIVANTOR's compass and he is taken to follow up on his victory in Cork for Gavin Cromwell. He clearly enjoyed passing horses there as he put in plenty of good late work before being left in the lead on the run-in when his main rival fell at the final flight. Conor Stone-Walsh did the steering that day and his 5lb claim is deployed again. Silver King looks threatening on his return to hurdling. It is worth noting that when he was last seen in this discipline he was placed at both Ballinrobe and Navan. Makfils wasn't a factor at the business end in a big field at Leopardstown, but that was in a much higher grade. He is better assessed on his runner-up berth on penultimate start in Navan. Although mostly campaigned over shorter trips, he has a placed effort over 2m5f in the book. Cromwell's Clear The Clouds is returning off a break, but has prospects on the balance of his form.
