FormscanBy Michael Graham - GRANN'S BOY looked to be on good terms with himself when runner-up on his comeback run on the Flat at Navan last week. Prior to that, he was also second in a decent handicap hurdle at Galway in October and the Navan spin should have blown the cobwebs away. Hat-trick-seeking Shabby Hill merits plenty of respect on handicap debut. He hasn't been winning by far, so it is hard for the handicapper to get a gauge on his ability. Gordon Elliott's Timeless Treaty is a triple winner over flights who is in the mix for prize money, while Eagles Reign showed a welcome return to form when runner-up at Naas last month.
