FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Scottish National sixth FLASH DE TOUZAINE should appreciate this lesser assignment. A winner on his previous start at Limerick in March, the Liz Doyle-trained veteran remains more than capable on his day. Although a longer trip would undoubtedly be preferable, the gelding was runner-up over this distance at Wexford last summer. A former graded winner over hurdles, Dreal Deal should find this more to his liking. The John McConnell-trained 10-year-old has hinted that he retains plenty of ability. Tullybeg, a previous winner around here, is one that shouldn't be discounted.
