FormscanBy Mark Nunan - AMIR KABIR, a three-time winner at trips up to 1m6f for Roger Charlton, may reverse Galway form with Flaming Moon. Having won on hurdling debut at Roscommon, a final flight mistake proved costly when he went down by half a length at Ballybrit and a 4lb pull at the weights can see him turn around form with the winner. Flaming Moon, very useful at around 1m on the level, got a canny front-running ride and just held on at Galway. He has a bit more jumping experience than the selection and should go well again. Kilbeggan bumper winner Uncle Phil was workmanlike when winning at Killarney but is likely to be better for the jumping experience gained on that hurdling bow. Ted Hastings has been doing well in small field contests across the water but this will take more winning.
