FormscanBy Donal Murphy - Odds-on and beaten on recent starts at Fairyhouse and Limerick, a first time hood may have the desired effect on De Temps En Temps, but he is difficult to fancy with any great confidence. Not seen since registering a second successive win at Galway in September, it might be worth taking a chance on AVONDALE. He was a respectable fifth on his sole previous effort over flights and had no less than five subsequent winners behind. Beaten by just half-a-length at Listowel in May, Encosta will be well-fancied to go a place better, while Faithful Follower and five-time Flat winner El Bello are others of note. An easy winner of a Sligo bumper, but declared to run at Tipperary on Thursday, Cosmos D'ainay is a doubtful starter.
