FormscanBy Tom Weekes - GOULANE JESSIE can get off the mark over fences. A point-to-point winner, she won her second hurdle race recently at Cork, comes here in excellent form with a chase rating which is now 3lbs below her hurdle mark, is ground-versatile and is suited to this trip. Carnet De Stage's form has been hit-and-miss but comes here following a good run at Killarney latest. He steps back up in trip today but is ground-versatile and can get involved at the business end. West Is Best's best form has been on soft ground and while well enough beaten at Downpatrick latest, was a winner two starts ago. Beeper's Ruby's two hurdle wins have come on a sound surface but was well enough held on chase debut at Downpatrick latest.
