FormscanBy Mark Nunan - GORDON DAI DAI was a useful performer in bumpers and has run quite creditably in his first two starts over hurdles. He had plenty of rivals behind when fourth to Uhtred at Naas last time and the winner wasn’t disgraced in Grade 1 company at the weekend. Stepping up in trip promises to suit the son of Buck’s Boum. Gorki D’airy hasn’t been seen since being pulled up at Thurles in February but has a chance on the form of his second at Tramore the previous month. He had a couple of subsequent winners behind when chasing home a smart winner over 2m5f. Rajsalad probably needed the run when sixth on his reappearance at Gowran and only found one too good on both outings last term, while Wexford bumper winner Fameaftertheglory is a hurdling debutant to note.
