FormscanBy Gary Carson - BYTHESAMETOKEN ran a big race on his chase debut at Fairyhouse 10 days ago and with that experience under his belt may be able to strike now. He went down by two lengths to Now Where Or When then and gets a 5lb pull from the winner in this rated contest. Stuart Crawford's charge had made his debut over fences here when second to easy winner Fakir D'alene. Now Where Or When is entitled to be a big player back here in this company. Alice Avril ran well to chase home Fighting Fit in handicap company at Naas last time, when she had Gevrey behind in third, and is another that has to come into calculations.
