FormscanBy Michael Graham - FLOREY SPUD fell in the early stages at Navan on Saturday, but is worth another chance. He was runner-up in his previous two starts at Wexford when keeping on in both over this trip. The fact he is turned out again quickly after the first fall of his career bodes well for this task. We'llgowats brought her homework to the track when obliging in Cork. She has since finished a staying-on third at Worcester and has prospects. Naturally Blond could go well off the front for a long way. Forcing tactics worked a treat over this distance at Killarney in July. He has thrown in a bad mistake in his last two appearances, but still finished third in Wexford and fourth at Bellewstown. Hurricane Darwin hasn't been over hurdles since January when out of form in this discipline. He did pop up to win a cross country steeplechase at Punchestown in April, though, but hasn't been out since. On balance, the 12-year-old is best watched.
