FormscanBy Michael Graham - KAROLINE BANBOU ought to come on from her first run over fences when runner-up at this track last month. She was outgunned by the winner on the run-in, however, that horse holds several big-race entries so her effort can be viewed in a better light. The No Risk At All mare landed her maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse. Port Joulain weakened over further in Punchestown, but this former bumper and maiden hurdle winner looks set to be involved over this trip. Koori Star is useful over flights and there was some promise in his first two starts over fences at this venue and in Galway, so he can get into the mix for a cheque.
