FormscanBy Mark Nunan - A lot of the main contenders for this have been absent for a while, including HICKEYS HILL who was a winner on handicap debut at Fairyhouse in October. He has been off since finishing fifth at Clonmel later that month and may have strengthened up during his time on the sidelines. The son of Hillstar will appreciate the sound surface and trainer Andy McNamara has had a couple of recent winners. The Border Boy, third to the selection at Fairyhouse after winning at Cork in August, is another returning from a break but has to merit consideration off a light weight. Low Style made the frame a couple of times during the winter and drops in trip and grade.
