FormscanBy Alan Magee - ESKYLANE won a competitive handicap in decisive fashion at Down Royal last October and was having his first run since off a 12lb higher mark when keeping on in the straight to take fifth behind stablemate Glan at the Fairyhouse Easter meeting. The Gordon Elliott-trained gelding could well benefit from that run following a break of over five months. Glan, who was just denied by Gua Du Large in a valuable handicap at Fairyhouse earlier this season, is obviously a big player again despite a 7lb rise for her recent win. Ardla is lightly raced over hurdles and has scope for improvement on his handicap debut. Mick Halford’s charge won a maiden at Navan and his subsequent third to Banbridge at the same venue has been well advertised since.
