FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - We haven't seen Meticulous since June and it might be safer to go with something boasting more recent form. There are plenty of options in that regard and DUNBOYNE'S second placing at Clonmel last month may get a form boost half-an-hour earlier here. Dunboyne's Powerstown Park conqueror, Capodanno, goes in the feature on this programme, with definite prospects for success. The selection for this stamina test was runner-up to subsequent Grade One scorer Bob Olinger at Navan prior to that. One would imagine that as a point-to-point victor Dunboyne should enjoy this near three mile trip, and he's taken to see off stable companion Excelcior, along with the aforementioned Meticulous. All About Joe, Mercury Lane, Mount Melleray, Salt Wind and Merry Doyenne aren't to be taken lightly either.
