FormscanBy Mark Nunan - DAZZLING DOVE ran her best race when fourth in a 2m handicap at Fairyhouse last month. That was in an appreciably higher grade and Tom Gibney’s mare, beaten only two lengths on that occasion, should go close off just a 1lb higher mark if she proves suited by this longer trip. The daughter of Winged Love will be making only her third start in handicaps, so there should be more to come from her. Inforapenny was pulled up in a point-to-point on his return to action in March but was knocking on the door in similar contests over hurdles in the autumn. The six-year-old found only one too good at Clonmel and Fairyhouse, likes good ground and might sharpen up for the fitting of headgear. Tick Along, partnered by an in-form claimer, was placed over 2m4f at Bellewstown last year and should be better for her recent comeback which was her first outing in nearly nine months.
