FormscanBy Alan Magee - SAFFRONANDBLUE won twice on the Flat last spring including over an extended 1m2f at Sligo and any market support would be significant as he tackles handicap company for the first time over hurdles. The Martin Brassil-trained gelding hasn’t been disgraced in three maiden outings and could be on a reasonable mark. Down Around has put together three solid efforts over 2m4f this winter notably winning at Thurles, although this step back in trip may not be in his favour. The Nagger Reidy opened his account over 2m2f at the Listowel Festival but hasn’t added to that tally despite being well supported on all three outings since. Royal Time and Oakley are others to note.
