FormscanBy Mark Nunan - BALLYKINLAR rattled up a hat-trick in summer handicaps and acquitted himself well in novice company when third at Listowel. The winner franked that form when second in a Grade 2 at Chepstow and the runner-up is a smart type. The selection's regular rider can't claim his allowance in this Listed contest but he still meets Carrigg Island, who was a length-and-a-half behind him at Listowel, on 1lb better terms and can confirm the form. Course and distance maiden winner Carrig Island is gradually learning to settle and should contend again while stablemate Shadow Paddy was one of six winners for Eoin McCarthy at Listowel and might have more to offer. Recent Flat winner Ephesus tries a longer trip here.%0A
