FormscanBy Michael Graham - CLEVER CURRENCY could go well over this staying trip. He put in a good shift off the front in a handicap hurdle at Leopardstown before he was collared approaching the last. A mark of 49 on the Flat ought to be within his compass. He hasn't raced often in Dundalk but, on his last visit, he was a close second over 1m4f in November. Gains Of War was driven home by Nathan Crosse at 66/1 over CD in January. The duo won't be anywhere near that price and certainly have a shot at following up off 6lb higher. That was a slowly-run race and the form hasn't really worked out, but he is a raw sort open to improvement. Blinkers saw Figurehead finish third over CD last month and they are retained, so he has to enter calculations. Lucky Question tries a new trip and is another to consider.
