FormscanBy Tom Weekes - VERMILION CLIFFS can get off the mark on his second hurdles outing. VERMILION CLIFFS won for Aidan O'Brien on the flat last year and ran with promise when third on hurdles debut at Wexford latest. He is open to plenty more improvement over jumps and will be suited by fast jumps ground. Flying Scotsman, also ex-Ballydoyle and by Galileo, won two Galway festival handicaps last summer and while beaten in three subsequent hurdle outings, is open to plenty more improvement jumping-wise. Those hurdle defeats came on testing winter ground and will be better suited to a sound surface here. Ex-French flat horse Na Caith Tobac is a dual flat winner who has shown ability over jumps. He is vulnerable to more useful types and is tried in first-time cheek-pieces. Showbusiness showed good promise on jumps debut at Naas in January but has disappointed twice subsequently, including on his reappearance at Downpatrick last month and is possibly best watched. %0A
