FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Four of these were comfortable winners last time out and they’ve all gone up a minimum of 8lb in the ratings. IRIDESCENT had been knocking on the door before winning with the minimum of fuss over this trip at Cork and the locally-trained gelding is given slight preference. Bonne Debut has gone up 9lb for winning at Punchestown and the second and third in that contest have been placed again since. This will be just her third start in handicap hurdles. It’s Time Again is thriving and has gone up 18lb in total for two victories at Ballinrobe last month. She steps up another two furlongs in trip but that shouldn’t be an issue. Downpatrick winner Journey West and Yulong Voice, runner-up over 3m at Tipperary, are others who merit respect.
