Formscan By Michael Graham - STAND UP AND FIGHT was mightily impressive in a hunters chase at Killarney and is taken to follow up. He dominated off the front and drew 11 lengths clear of the runner-up Na Trachtalai Abu (who reopposes here) after a terrific display of jumping. Aine O'Connor gets a good tune out of him as she has partnered him in two of his victories. Handy Headon has been in excellent form for David Christie in clocking up hunters chase successes at the two northern racetracks - Down Royal and Downpatrick. He's a strong galloper who jumps well and enjoys good ground. Stamp Your Feet has won his last couple of point-to-points. He is likely to be ridden patiently to come through with a finish. Gig In The Park has moved to Willie Mullins after finishing well behind in fourth in a Stradbally point-to-point in April when joint favourite. A tongue-strap is tried on him. A market move would be significant.
