Formscan By Mark Nunan - NO HASSLE is on a hat-trick after winning over this kind of trip at Tipperary and Ballinrobe in July. Shane Ryder has kept his powder dry with his progressive mare and, if returning to action in the same sort of form, she may be able to defy an 11lb hike for her latest success. Luminous Light was a good third over 1m6f at the Galway festival and has been showing up well over hurdles since then. Any easing of the ground won't be a problem for him. Herculaneum got a big penalty for a facile win over course and distance in July but ran well really well off his revised mark at Galway. A spin on the beach at Laytown will have set him up nicely for this assignment.
