FormscanBy Mark Nunan - GLENQUIN CASTLE is on a mark of 108 over fences after rattling up a hat-trick and, in theory, looks to have a great chance off a hurdles rating of 85. Confidence is tempered by his moderate effort at Ballinrobe on his most recent start in this sphere but he’s on a high from his chasing exploits and it’s not surprising that connections give him another try over the smaller obstacles. Topweight Porky Rush was second to solid yardstick Dedanann over this trip at Wexford and a 2lb hike just leaves him eligible for this grade. He’s open to more improvement as is Anuas Ar An Bpost who had Stolen Moment back in fifth when a good third at Listowel. One of the more dramatic races at the Harvest Festival saw Tide And Time collared on the run-in, by previous race contender Game Catch, having looked home and hosed. The 9-year-old is proving hard to win with but his consistency entitles him to consideration again.%0A%0A
