FormscanBy John O'Riordan - MEEHALL should have every chance of turning the form around with Limerick conqueror Neptunus Equester at these revised weights. Eric McNamara's gelding was always up with the pace and jumped well before being headed on the run-in. The headgear that appeared to bring about significant improvement is retained now and in-form jockey Mark McDonagh is a positive booking. Neptunus Equester should also be open to further improvement after just the seven starts under rules and has the services of Irish Grand National winning rider Paddy O'Hanlon. Dalileo could be seriously well handicapped if transferring his smart flat form to fences. He failed to progress over hurdles after winning at Perth but hinted at a revival last time. Go Battle and Presenting Cody are others to consider.
