FormscanBy Michael Graham - LALIPOUR was very strong at the finish over a similar trip in Navan and could follow up. This racecourse may not suit him as much as the galloping one in Navan, but he has the ideal draw in stall one to get into a good position. Gavin Cromwell's Bajan Excell reverts back to the Flat after keeping Graded company when last seen over hurdles. He is entitled to go well off a mark of 63, with Shane Crosse taking a further 3lb off his back. Cromwell also sends Aprils Joy into action again, after winning a mares' maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan on Monday evening. She could be very well handicapped on a rating of 50 on the level. Red Vermillion put in a good staying performance to win in Fairyhouse and has prospects off 5lb higher.
