FormscanBy Alan Magee - LECKY WATSON was a useful sort over hurdles including when placed in a Grade 1 at Naas and made an exciting start over fences at the same venue making all to beat Slade Steel over 2m4f. He should benefit from that seasonal debut and could take high rank in the novice chasing division. Point winner Down Memory Lane also jumped well when successfully switching to fences at Navan but didn’t get into the same rhythm when tackling Grade 1 company at Sandown last month. Farren Glory holds Ifiwerearichman on running behind Inthepocket at Wexford and now steps up in trip after finishing second to stablemate Touch Me Not in the Grade 2 ‘Craddockstown’ at this venue.
