FormscanBy Mark Nunan - DE NAME ESCAPES ME might reverse Curragh form with Dalton Highway and can go close for Derek O’Connor. The winning hurdler/chaser might still have a bit more to come on the level with this being just his fifth start in this discipline. Dalton Highway, runner-up to Great White Shark in this last year, is a tough and consistent sort but winning off a mark of 96 may just be beyond him. Champion Hurdle runner-up Sharjah hasn’t yet matched his jumping exploits on the Flat, but Grade 1 juvenile hurdle winner A Wave of The Sea is of interest at the foot of the weights. Run For Mary is respected for a shrewd stable, while Princess Zoe bolted up at The Curragh and this ex-German performer will be a danger to all even off a 13lbs higher rating, with a top-class claiming amateur booked.
