FormscanBy Michael Graham - BIRDSANDTHEBEES made up a fair amount of ground in the home straight at Naas which brings her into contention. She came in fourth of 25 in that handicap hurdle, and the horses in second and sixth came out and won on their next starts to boost the form. Good Man Turk was a beaten favourite in fourth at Clonmel after finishing runner-up behind an easy winner at Naas. His form should have him in contention. Unanswered has won his last couple of races on the Flat. Previous hurdle efforts have been uninspiring, however, he may be reinvigorated. Mise Raftaire also has a shot. Early Arrival would welcome a lot of rain.
