Formscan By Michael Graham - Plenty of rain in the forecast is music to the ears of RYEHILL. Ross O'Sullivan's charge arrives on the back of a 10th place finish on good to soft ground at Cheltenham. It is hard to forget his penultimate outing in Naas, though, where the mud was flying as he put the field to the sword by 12 lengths. Run Wild Fred could build upon a runner-up spot at Bandon point-to-point last month. That was just his second run back after an absence and he gets first-time cheekpieces. Hollow Games showed more in second behind a prolific winner at Portrush, while deep ground doesn't look ideal for Big Interest.
