FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Badly hampered and subsequently brought down at the festival here last month, YORADREAMER can gain compensation. An easy winner over this trip at Wexford on his previous start, the Willie Mullins-trained gelding should be suited to this tactical affair. Likely to make the running under Anna McGuinness, the seven-year-old could prove a difficult one to pass if getting into a rhythm in front. Former point-to-point winner Emily Love is interesting stepping up to this trip for the first time under Rules. A prolific scorer over hurdles, the Gordon Elliott-trained mare is very unexposed over fences. Raglan Road was pulled up here last month but holds every chance on his previous winning effort at Down Royal.
