FormscanBy John O'Riordan - A winner on the all-weather at Dundalk on his penultimate start, NUMIDIA catches the eye on his return to jumping. Having been successful four times on the Flat since last seen over hurdles, the Peter Lawlor-trained gelding could be nicely treated off a mark of 91. The seven-year-old should handle this track having scored here on the level, while he has also proven an ability to act on testing ground. With the Gavin Cromwell yard back amongst the winners in recent days, Cowper Hall has to be a leading contender. Runner-up at Navan on his penultimate start, he finished fourth at Thurles subsequently. Gino Bella, who was a place in front of Cowper Hall last time, also has every chance.
