FormscanBy Michael Graham - Turnpike Trip had a tough race when winning the valuable Galway Blazers during the festival at Ballybrit, but has had over three weeks off since then. He rallied well to get up by a length and a half over that extended 2m6f and it was noteworthy as it was the 11-year-old's first time over that trip. DIGBY didn't fire in that aforementioned race and unseated two out, but before that was in a good vein of form with victories at Bangor-on-Dee and Ballinrobe and a close second in Uttoxeter. Boston Rover is going the right way for Gordon Elliott and did score in Roscommon on just his second start over fences, while Dark Note is capable of a bold show.
