FormscanBy Michael Graham - A cracking race where no horse can be ruled out. BOLD ENOUGH may prove good enough to give weight away. He was a wide-margin winner of his first two novice chases in Wexford and at this track, before finishing a close third in a Grade 3 over a further trip at Galway in July (with Druid's Altar eight and a half lengths behind in fourth). Druid's Altar has improved since that race to win decisively in Killarney and Wexford so has to rate a threat. Embittered got off the mark over fences in Killarney. He was highly tried in this sphere last year and there should be more to come from him. Hurricane Georgie gets all the allowances and has a featherweight of 10 stone on her back so shouldn't be discounted. Exit Poll for a very in-form Jessica Harrington and Presenting Bonnie aren't out of it.
