FormscanBy Alan Magee - THE DASHER CONWAY ran better than his finishing position would suggest behind Priory Park over 2m4f at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting. The Gillian Callaghan-trained gelding has been lightly raced since easily winning a Tipperary maiden last May and the return to two miles will suit him well. Pike County was noted staying on in that same 28-runner Leopardstown handicap and the drop back to this trip should also be in his favour. Ballycoose merits respect having won a bumper here on debut and followed up last month in an Ayr maiden hurdle. Drumbear also won in fine style on his hurdle debut in Scotland last month, while Jack Foley is an interesting booking on Hammersmith.
