FormscanBy Tom Weekes - YEAH MAN is unexposed and runs over hurdles for the first time. A point-to-point winner on debut before selling for E95,000, he was beaten long distances in subsequent chases but finished nicely on handicap debut, rated 114, at Thurles. The Flying Spur returned from a 329-days layoff when finishing mid-field at Navan and had earlier shown capable form when finishing fourth at that venue in January. He should improve from his reappearance and runs in a tongue-tie. All For Rachel failed to figure in three hot bumpers todate and while also well held over course and distance last month, that race has worked out very well. Be Fierce has bits of form but disappointed when favourite on reappearance last month while Slane Hill has some form but needs to improve. Tony Martin's Read To Return has his third hurdles run and showed good form in a point-to-point and bumper earlier this year.
