FormscanBy Donal Murphy - Now racing off level weights, DUE COURSE might be able to reverse Sligo form with The Striker Dylan. Just a length-and-three-quarters separated them at the Cleveragh circuit and there is again likely to be little between the pair here. Set for a quick turnaround after finishing second at Galway on Sunday, Smallcraftwarning is sure to have plenty of supporters, while River Vale, Stily, Tennessee Boy and Lady Rose Hackett are other leading hopes in this competitive affair. Twice successful over flights at Clonmel in the spring, it'll be interesting to see how Volez Vous fares on her first try over fences.
