FormscanBy Mark Nunan - DER MC has no weight on his back and made a winning start for this yard over 1m5f at Sligo earlier in the month. He likes soft ground and, although his best form is at right-handed tracks, he was placed at this venue in 2020. A chance is taken on his stamina as this will be his first try at this sort of trip. Abstract is still a maiden but he ran well when third over 1m6f at Gowran last week and Chris Hayes is an interesting booking. Magnetic North had Derrinlaur back in fifth when landing a twenty-runner handicap at Navan and is another stepping up in trip. Dark Voyager, whose recent hurdles form has been dismal, is now tried in headgear and he won his most recent start on the Flat nearly two years ago. %0A
