FormscanBy Michael Graham - BENBULBEN BOY was a smooth victor of a maiden hurdle over a similar trip at this track in May on jumping debut. Afterwards, jockey Keith Donoghue commented that he will be a grand horse for the summer so this son of Yeats should appreciate better ground. Denise Foster's stable is in good form at present. Ornua made all to win a small-field steeplechase in Tramore so arrives in good humour. Mike O'Connor's 7lb claim is clearly very handy. He will enjoy this ground. Ornua hasn't been out over hurdles in almost a year, though. The Getaway Star has plenty of good form in the book particularly behind Skyace. She was no match for a hot favourite in Kilbeggan, but that horse is clearly going places. The ground may not be ideal for her, though.
