FormscanBy Alan Magee - ABOVE THE CITY has been knocking on the door and should appreciate this extra half-mile. The Des McDonogh-trained mare won a bumper at Ballinrobe last year and has indicated a handicap hurdle should be within her compass off this current mark. She made the frame twice at Navan last month and on both occasions suggested this longer trip would be right up her street. R’evelyn Pleasure has a hurdle rating 15lb below her chase mark and kept on well last time behind the progressive Sullane Hill over this trip at Thurles. Rightplacerightime ran a cracker behind The Bosses Oscar at Thurles and now takes a drop in class after finishing down the field in a valuable handicap at Naas. Broomfields Jeremy, Top Of The Charts and Breezy Bell are others to consider.
