FormscanBy Alan Magee - GOLD CUP BAILLY holds plenty of interest in a race for horses that have not won over hurdles. The point-to-point winner has some eye-catching form over hurdles notably when making a race of it with Ahoy Senor over this trip at Ayr before that smart winner went on to take a Grade 1 at Aintree. Banntown Girl is another with useful placed form over hurdles including twice behind Party Central in a Listed novice at Punchestown and also when third in a valuable mares’ handicap at the Dublin Racing Festival. Eyre Square and point-to-point winner The Folkes Tiara are others to consider but Fameaftertheglory needs to jump much better than he did at Galway earlier this month.
