FormscanBy Tom Weekes - STILY has shown improved form over hurdles recently and might score on his chase debut here. From Kauto Star’s family, the selection initially showed poor form but has run consistently well in recent handicap hurdles and being just a five-year-old, should progress further and he remains a little unexposed. Zolpharine is more exposed but goes well for today’s 7lb claimer and is suited by conditions. Burru disappointed at Wexford last month but had previously run well here in June, although softening ground would be a concern. Tullyhogue Fort is an able type at this level and should compete. Aurea Fortuna is declared to run at Galway on Sunday.
