FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Although almost certainly better on a big galloping track, ARCLAND is too well handicapped to ignore. Runner-up over hurdles on his stable debut for Gavin Cromwell, the nine-year-old then reverted to the Flat to win at Navan in June. A fast finishing second at Down Royal subsequently, he again ran well back over flights at Killarney recently. Provided that he can lie up with the early pace, the son of Arcano should go very close. Tramore Derby fourth Tastyee is interesting in first-time blinkers. A prominent racer, the mare finds plenty for pressure, so could be involved if the headgear works. Dumb Love is another with claims despite her wide draw.
