FormscanBy Gary Carson - Dual course winner OUT ON FRIDAY may be able to strike again here. Philip Byrnes’ charge ran well last time when chasing home a well-handicapped rival in Kool One at Roscommon. He has won in testing conditions around here in the past. Steps In The Sand was a good winner over further here at the festival. She was a touch disappointing back over hurdles last time but has to be respected on the Flat again having rattled off a hat-trick during the summer. Rain ran well over ten furlongs at Leopardstown last time and could be place material stepping back up in trip.%0A
