FormscanBy Michael Graham - RICH BELIEF failed to land a big gamble in Limerick but compensation could be on the cards. He moved well in that race before being outgunned by the winner on the run-in. If he is in the same humour, he will be a threat to all. Match My Fire put in his best effort for some time when runner-up at Tramore, beaten by half a length. He can build upon that. Dazzling Darren won on the Flat in Sligo at the start of the month. His four previous maiden hurdle efforts haven't been inspiring, but he is returning to this sphere with confidence boosted and better ground will aid his cause. Henry de Bromhead's Cape Islay is certainly one to watch in the market.
