FormscanBy Mark Nunan - He won a bumper at this track on the corresponding weekend last year and, with new headgear fitted and dropping back to 2m, FORTUNE STREET may record a first hurdles win. He might have needed the run when second at Kilbeggan last month and the trip may have been too far for him last time. Behind The Curtain has plenty of good runs in the book including when second at Galway earlier in the month where subsequent winner Railway Hurricane was behind him. He’s one to consider, along with the 4-year-old filly Kapard who’s been given a mark of 111 after winning an ordinary contest on debut at Roscommon. Make Good won easily on the Flat at Navan last week and is hard to assess over hurdles after just two starts, while O’Connell Street didn’t look straightforward when showing ability in Britain but it wouldn’t be a surprise if Gordon Elliott gets the best out of him before long.
