FormscanBy Michael Graham - IDAS BOY is taken to return with a victory. Noel Meade's charge has been off for almost a year but has plenty of decent form in the book. He is a former point-to-point winner who came in runner-up in a couple of bumpers before finishing third on his first crack at hurdles at Punchestown in November last year. The runner-up from that race (Lifetime Ambition) has certainly franked the form. Ingenious Stroke has race fitness on his side. This point-to-point winner was only 5/2 for his hurdle debut in Galway where he finished fourth. He should improve and be on the premises. Caesar Rock and Wall Of Fame have both shown enough to go on the shortlist. Highland Sting outran his odds when second on debut at Sligo and shouldn't be underestimated.
