FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Out of action for over two years after winning a point-to-point, GENTLE AND KIND will have delighted connections when finishing second at Kilbeggan last month on Rules debut. She steps up in trip by a couple of furlongs and can go one place better under Rachael Blackmore. Rule The Wind was soundly beaten at Tramore last time but may have found the trip a bit sharp. He was narrowly foiled over 2m4f at Tipperary in the spring and this test of stamina should suit better. The locally-trained Invictus World won a bumper at Navan last year and was a fair fourth on his second hurdles start at this venue. He's back from a break and may improve for the application of a tongue-tie.%A0
