Formscan By Alan Magee - HE WHO DARES (7) scored in good style in a similar event at Wexford last month and can successfully revert to hurdles after a couple of promising efforts on the Flat. The Sam Curling-trained gelding was only just denied at Leopardstown and may now have most to fear from Menas Miracle. The Jet Away mare won a Wexford handicap hurdle last year and has been mainly campaigned over fences since including a victory at Tramore in May. Le Diablo and Ripsnorter are closely matched on running at Ballinrobe earlier this month, while any market move for Youknowthecode would be interesting on handicap debut.
