FormscanBy Alan Magee - Plenty of recent course form to consider and perhaps RAGMANS CORNER can successfully revert to hurdles following his third to Filey Bay in the valuable Connacht Hotel Handicap here on Monday. The Gerry Keane-trained gelding appears versatile in terms of ground conditions winning twice over hurdles last season and has progressed well since on the Flat taking a 21-runner handicap at Navan. Punchestown maiden hurdle winner Castleheath dead-heated over an extended mile here on Tuesday, while Battle Of Ridgeway is one for the shortlist on his second at the Punchestown Festival. There is little to choose between Son Of Hypnos, Half A Chance and Eyeeye on running behind Jerrari over course and distance on Monday.
