FormscanBy Mark Nunan - ELEGANT DAN had Just Call Me back in fourth when second to subsequent winner Lord Lariat at Tipperary last month. That was on the back of a lay-off since last October and he can go one better for a trainer who does well at this venue. It’s interesting to see Davy Russell booked for Pak Army, who’s a dual winner at Dundalk and has run well in a couple of Flat handicaps on turf recently. He’s unexposed over hurdles. Fu’s Island and Rathnaleen Tou both won at this track last year and might improve on recent efforts, while Ballinrobe bumper winner China Princess was well-fancied when finishing mid-division on her handicap bow at Bellewstown and she can improve on that.
