Formscan By Michael Graham - FAULTY was outgunned in second by a horse that looked a real prospect over a similar trip at this track in November. He was clear of the remainder and could go one better. Lucky Lyreen went off favourite for a bumper here in May. He finished fourth and winners have come out of that race, so he is a big threat.. Attaboyarchie came home second in his last couple of bumpers. Another solid run could be forthcoming. Stuart Crawford has won this race before and introduces Boldog in the 'double green'. The Authorized gelding should be checked for market strength. His stablemate, Largy Ray, went off joint favourite on debut at Ayr. He travelled smoothly before weakening to fifth. Improvement is likely.
