FormscanBy Gary Carson - GABYNAKO may be able tog ain a deserved win here after two good runner-up efforts this season. He pushed a smart horse in Eskylane close on his comeback run at Punchestown before losing out by the narrowest of margins to Fakiera in a thriller at Fairyhouse last time. That looks rock solid form and it could be third time lucky now. Captain Kangaroo looked a nice sort when taking a Clonmel bumper in March and is still in the'could be anything' category. He is sure to be well schooled for this task but jumps experience could be a big plus for Gabynako. Battle Of Actium, a point-to-point winner, was placed behind Eskylane in a bumper at Navan back in January. He looks an interesting hurdling debutant but may want further than this in time.
