FormscanBy Michael Graham - STARLITE DANCER bounced back to form in Cork and can follow up. Fozzy Stack's charge overcame a welter burden of 10-2 with a strong run to lead on the line. The form of that race looks more than healthy as the third home has since gone in twice, and the fourth has also obliged. Crucially, Starlite Dancer ran well in third in an extended mile handicap at last year's festival, and has form on yielding to soft ground. Out On Friday looks like a winner waiting to happen, particularly after being nabbed at the post in Leopardstown on Thursday. He is a 16-race maiden, but has been a close second in two of his last three starts. He is not on a bad mark at all, but probably wouldn't want much more rain. Swiss Army Officer just failed by a short head in Leopardstown, but that was on fast ground which he isn't going to get in Ballybrit. New Vocation has the ability to get into contention, so could be one for each-way players.
