FormscanBy Michael Graham - After THE SHORT GO's wide-margin victory in a Killarney maiden hurdle, Henry de Bromhead reported that he had really turned inside out in the last few months. A couple of winners have come out of that race to strengthen the form. The forecast quick ground ought to be in his favour being by Fame And Glory. Ash Tree Meadow has been in good form over fences. He ran up a hat-trick last summer and was also placed in the Galway Plate. He hasn't been over hurdles since April last year, but looks dangerous and Danny Gilligan's 7lb claim is a big bonus. Jeff Kidder is coming off a break, but has plenty of talent. He had a golden spell over flights a couple of years ago and is more than capable of having a say.
