FormscanBy Mark Nunan - HAKENSACK has been placed on his last two starts over flights and goes straight into handicap company, off his hurdles mark, on his first chase start. The seven-year-old ran well in a couple of point-to-points and is ridden by a leading conditional. Duce Bigalow showed much improved form on his second start over fences when runner-up over 2m at Navan and also has the assistance of a talented and in-form rider. Diamond Dollar has shown improvement over hurdles recently and has to enter calculations on chase debut, while three-time hurdles winner Baltinglass Hill has placed form in similar contests and is another to consider. %0A%0A
