FormscanBy Alan Magee - It’s nearly two years since DUNVEGAN made a winning start over fences at Punchestown and, while he’s without a victory since, there are enough positives to suggest the grey can score here. The Pat Fahy-trained gelding has picked up plenty of good place prize-money in the interim including in a valuable handicap at the Punchestown Festival this spring and again last time on the Flat when a close-up third in the November Handicap at Naas. Buddy Rich has taken on some smart novices over fences and opened his account when beating Ballyadam at Navan last time, while Poseidon and Epson Du Houx both won at Cork last time but have been raised 9lb and 7lb respectively.
