FormscanBy Donal Murphy - The top three appear the ones to focus on here, with preference for the Gordon Elliott trained DOUGLAS DC. Narrowly defeated on his debut over flights, he again wasn't beaten far on his second try at Naas. He made the breakthrough in convincing fashion at Tramore last month, and that form has been given a boost since, with runner-up Igraine winning well at Killarney. Prairie Dancer sets the standard on a mark of 124. A runner-up in Grade 3 company, he performed with credit to finish eighth in the Boodles at the Cheltenham Festival. He then belatedly opened his account over flights at Cork, before disappointing on his most recent start at Clonmel when a beaten favourite. Rebel Step failed to make an impact on the level at Naas recently but won over flights at Limerick last month and is capable of making his presence felt. Market support for Doran's Hope would be significant, but he'll have to be smart to win here on debut.
