FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Runner-up on his last two outings, INTHENICKOFTIME can step up a place. Having been beaten less than a length on his most recent start over fences, at Roscommon in June, the Enda Bolger-trained gelding took minor honours back over hurdles last time. Reverting to fences once again, the five-year-old is unexposed in this discipline after just the three starts and it would be no surprise to see him take another step forward. A winner at Wexford in August, Finnians Row then ran well when dropped in trip at Ballinrobe and should appreciate the stiffer test. Vaureal is also worthy of respect for the Ian Donoghue yard.
