FormscanBy Stuart Howden - A tad unlucky not to get off the mark in this sphere, with four seconds to his name, KEVIN'S PRIDE looks to have been found an ideal opportunity on his return to action. Good ground is likely to suit and the six-year-old should have too much for Big Dispute, who produced a career-best effort over hurdles when runner-up at Killarney in May and Michael Kenneally now claims a valuable 7lb. Couldntmakeitup was a respectable third over further at Ballinrobe in August and is another to consider, while Happy Me showed promise last season including when runner-up to Scalpnagoon at Thurles but his form tailed off in the spring.
