FormscanBy Michael Graham - KNOCKANARD LADY stayed on well over 2m4f in Cork, but was unable to reel in the winner. That was a creditable performance, though, as she was some 13 lengths clear of the third horse. This slightly longer trip promises to suit her well. She has a bumper victory in her locker, so she knows where the winning post is. Walk In The Brise weakened quickly when a beaten favourite in fourth on hurdling debut at Cork. That was her first sub-par run but there was an excuse as she returned with a leg wound. She has notable bumper form including when winning at Downpatrick in June. Drying ground will be to her advantage. Gaoth Chuil was a wide-margin winner of a Tipperary bumper in June. She has shown ability in three hurdle races since and is likely to put a good shift in. Jenny Flex could have a say in this company.
