FormscanBy Gary Carson - A couple here trying to defy penalties after the addition of Thedancingfarrier to the field following the reopening of declarations. It looks hard to oppose LOVELY MOON after his wide margin success at Clonmel a week ago. Declan Queally's charge streaked clear to win by 18 lengths then and the extra weight he has to carry now doesn't look enough to stop him. Thedancingfarrier may have won a bit more comfortably at Cork on Sunday but for a mistake at the final flight. He looks the obvious danger in the field. Presenting Point ran well over fences last month when chasing home a major gamble in Sunnyvilla at Clonmel. He is on a lower mark back over timber and could run well.
