FormscanBy Gary Carson - UNANSWERED has been busy already this week with two runs on the level but might be worth following if turning out again here over hurdles. The Intello gelding has been a big improver on the Flat and still looks on a nice mark over timber as he is less exposed in this sphere. He was an easy winner when last seen over hurdles at Punchestown in May and despite a 13lb hike for that win there still looks a bit to work with. Darkened and Listentillitellyea face off again after just a nose separated the pair in a head bobber here on the opening night. The former has gone on to run well again on the Flat since and there shouldn't be much between them again at the weights.
