FormscanBy Gary Carson - DONT GO YET ran a big race when last seen at Fairyhouse in mid-December and that form looks good. The winner then Mattie's Mountain was recording the middle win of a hat-trick then while the third horse, Forrard Away, has also won since. Dont Go Yet has gone up 4lb for that run but still looks capable of landing a race of this standard. Wait Here was a winner at Punchestown in October and ran a decent race to finish fourth off this mark at Thurles a few weeks later. He looks a potential danger. Djasek out-ran his starting price when chasing home Flindt at Fairyhouse last month and off just a 2lb higher mark has to be a contender.
