FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Lightly-raced PYTHION won here n June and today's race is likely to have been a target for some weeks, with the step up in trip sure to suit. Third in the Ballysax Stakes as a 3yo, he was smart at staying trips on the flat, beat a subsequent maiden hurdle winner here in June and should run well on handicap debut despite his big weight, over a suitable trip. Clondaw Bertie, a point-to-point, is also suit to be suited by today's longer trip than when second at Galway and should figure on his handicap debut. Silvertown has been running consistently well over middle-distances while Call Me Dolly disappointed on her latest hurdles start and while she bounced back to form on the flat at Tipperary, her best hurdles form is over two miles. Fierami was useful last winter and will be ready for reappearance while Sweet Sixteen is able at this grade and is open to some more improvement being a 4yo. Dedanann represents a yard in flying form and while he has won just once in 34 starts, was second at Ballinrobe latest.
