FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Having performed well when fifth in a stronger contest at Killarney recently, THE GRADUAL SLOPE shouldn't be far away. Dropped 2lb subsequently, the Sean O'Brien-trained gelding is now back on the same mark as when he won at last year's Punchestown Festival. Lightly raced over fences, Dorans Law has to be a leading contender for the in-form Philip Rothwell yard. He confirmed his well-being when runner-up at Down Royal last month. Handicap chase debutant Beggars Rock is another to consider.
