FormscanBy Gary Carson - THE FOUR SIXES looked a nice sort when winning on his hurdling debut at Clonmel and doesn't appear harshly treated in what is essentially his first handicap. The Westerner gelding shaped nicely on his sole bumper outing last season and took to jumping well on his return. Going another half mile now may suit the four-year-old who looks to have scope for plenty of improvement. Gordon Elliott also runs Landrake, who also won his maiden hurdle at Clonmel last time out. The Martaline gelding is likewise open to improvement and could be a big player. Dovlator chased home Salvador Ziggy when last seen at Roscommon in July and that form has worked out well with the winner scoring twice since. Dermot McLoughlin's charge could be each-way material in this.
