Formscan By Gary Carson - CROSSHOUSE BOY ran well in a maiden hurdle here last month and looks capable of scoring on his handicap debut off this kind of mark. It was an unplaced contest last time but it wasn't a bad race by any means and a repeat of that performance would give him a chance off 100 in a moderate enough looking event now. The Truant has been running consistently and having been dropped a pound for his latest effort he looks capable of going close in this company. Cahirdown Boy is another with a solid run last time out but that came back in September at Listowel when he was third on much better ground. %0A
