FormscanBy Alan Magee - Most of the quintet have useful form in big field handicaps and KOSHARI gets a tentative vote in what may prove a more tactical affair. The Willie Mullins-trained gelding boasts the best piece of form having landed a valuable 2m4f handicap here at the Festival this spring. He was then fitted with blinkers and switched to fences when a creditable sixth in the Galway Plate and now reverts to hurdles after a couple of below par runs. Stable-companion Dysart Diamond is an obvious threat after finishing strongly to take the two-mile Ladbrokes Handicap Hurdle at the Listowel Festival, while Jesse Evans also won a valuable handicap at Killarney back in May and has the benefit of a recent run on the Flat at Thurles. Wolf Prince also ran well at Listowel last month.
