Formscan By Gary Carson - COURT COMPLIANCE ran a big race on his hurdling debut at Punchestown last month and can go one better now. The Court Cave gelding lost out by a half-length to Champagne Kid then, on his first outing for Bill Durkan, and that form looks solid. The fourth horse Bally Free has gone on to win since. Miss Doyenne was a bumper winner at Cork back in the spring and looks like an obvious danger. Dippedinmoonlight was a touch disappointing when beaten favourite on her return to jumping at Fairyhouse last month but is a talented sort and can’t be discounted.
