FormscanBy Gary Carson - Stepping up in trip now over fences could prove the key for DEARG MOR (5). He was a well-backed favourite at Galway on his last outing and it was a solid effort that day without threatening the principals. He had run well over three miles over hurdles earlier in the campaign and going up in distance again now should suit. Joe’s Turn was a narrow winner at Killarney last month and has to be respected despite a 5lb rise for that victory. Moorish Castle got 5lb for winning over hurdles at Sligo last time and runs off that mark now on his chase debut. He’s another to note.
