FormscanBy Shane Redmond - DADDY LONG LEGS (3) has returned from a mini-break in fine form and looks the one. On his first start in three months, the one-time Irish Champion Hurdle runner-up scored a cosy success over hurdles at Ballinrobe in May before taking second place in a 12-furlong maiden on the Flat on soft ground at Down Royal just under two weeks ago. A sounder surface is expected as he goes jumping again and he should now be too strong for the penalised Jesse Evans who was a winner over fences at Listowel a month ago. Bowensonfire won back-to-back handicap hurdles at Leopardstown in December and February and he is down in grade after contesting a stronger race more recently at the Fairyhouse Easter Festival.
