FormscanBy Donal Murphy - A switch to fences might bring out the best in DROP A THREAT. The winner of a point-to-point when in the care of Donnchadh Doyle, the Triple Threat seven-year-old has been disappointing since joining Willie Mullins. Well-supported and not beaten that far when seventh of 18 on his most recent start at Cork, it'll come as a surprise if he's not involved towards the business end. A son of the great Solerina and twice successful over flights, Faceman is the second choice. A runner-up on recent starts at Fairyhouse and Downpatrick respectively, Gordon Elliott's Gunnery Sergeant warrants the utmost respect, while Magic Day, Ira Hayes and Jumping Susie, who starts off for Declan Queally, are others for the shortlist in this weak affair.
