FormscanBy Michael Graham - INNATENDUE sets a high standard with a rating of 122. She earned that with a second place in a Grade 2 juvenile hurdle at Fairyhouse in April in addition to her strong form in her native France. There is no doubt that she wasn't at her best when dropping away in third on seasonal reappearance in Wexford at the end of October. That may have been down to returning from a break and she will be sharper today. Gordon Elliott's Jeepydoff Meel is highly likely to improve from an opening fifth place over a further trip in a big field at Punchestown in October. The fact that the winner and the fourth home both came out and won on their next starts further enhances his claims. Ages Of Man could go well for a long way off the front. Hands Of Gold made a pleasing debut when fourth in Down Royal and is a potential improver. San Martino is a hurdling newcomer to keep an eye on in the market.
