FormscanBy Alan Magee - ROLLY BOWLEY BOY won a 2m4f handicap hurdle on testing ground at Clonmel just over a year ago and can gain a deserved success over fences following a series of placed efforts this term. The selection beat all bar Bushmans Pass over 2m7f at the Limerick Christmas meeting and had Atacanter (now 4lb better off) back in third when just denied by Kates Hill at Punchestown last month. Positive Thinker won over both hurdles and fences last autumn and has continued in good form since including when just edged out by Emancipator over this trip at Fairyhouse with So Des Flos and Old Soul both behind. So Des Flos previously won over a shorter distance at Fairyhouse and has a chance at the weights.
