FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Hold onto your hat if first-reserve Vee Dancer runs, as stepping up to three miles should bring about oodles of improvement in the ex-point-to-pointer. Otherwise, OUTSIDE THE DOOR is a safe form option, having beaten a subsequent winner at Listowel. He is 9lbs higher and while a return to soft ground is a concern, he is progressing well, likes staying distances and could be better able to handle easy ground with experience behind him. Temptationinmilan ran well at Sligo recently and stepping to three miles for the first time could bring about some improvement for this somewhat unexposed type. Game Catch has been running consistently well but is as yet unproven on soft ground. Final Orders has winning form on soft but is a summer type who has been running well in recent months. Call Me Freddie landed a gamble to win at Cork in May but was well held at Killarney latest.
