FormscanBy Michael Graham - CLONGUILE WAY got off the mark over fences in Punchestown and can repeat the feat switching to the lower obstacles. That winning performance can be marked up as both the runner-up and fourth home came out and won on their next starts. Caddy Shack runs this track well and is a former course and distance victor. She has to rate a threat after keeping on for second in Tramore over a shorter trip. Daisy's Hollow won over three miles in Tipperary and has a chance off 5lb higher. Point-to-point winner Blue Markie has been placed in his last couple of handicap hurdles and could go well. The form of his third in Navan has been franked by the two horses that finished in front of him, and he wasn't beaten far into third in Downpatrick on his last start. Esthers Marvel is another to consider in a deep race for the grade.
