FormscanBy Alan Magee - I’M SLIPPY won a valuable bumper on debut at last year’s Fairyhouse Easter meeting and easily landed the odds when switched to hurdles at Cork in November. The Robert Tyner-trained gelding was no match for Talk The Talk subsequently at Fairyhouse but that form was put in perspective when the winner looked set to follow up in a Grade 1 at Leopardstown only to fall at the last. Point-to-point winner Spinningayarn took a Navan bumper on his Rules debut and made all last time for a decisive victory in a 2m4f Fairyhouse maiden hurdle. Shuttle Diplomacy has plenty to recommend both in bumpers and over hurdles but is also declared at Naas on Sunday.
