FormscanBy Donal Murphy - Stakes should be kept to a minimum, with Coole Cafe (33/1) and It's Bobsled Time (250/1) the latest Academy Hurdle winners. The latter won at Naas, with O'GRADY CRACKER sent off favourite for that Tipper Road contest. The subject of sustained market support, the Andy Slattery-trained bay ultimately disappointed, but he should step forward from that initial experience and could benefit from the application of cheekpieces. Slattery also saddles newcomer Mischievous Fun, with Gordon Elliott, Emmet Mullins and Ciaran Murphy also doubly represented. The choice of Jack Kennedy, Hygge appears the pic of Elliott's pair, while going on form alone, the twice-placed Kilbarry Lizzy is the one they all have to beat.
