Formscan By John O'Riordan - The Noel Meade-trained SPORTINTHEPARK looks well treated reverting to hurdles. A winner in this sphere at Galway in October, the Walk In The Park gelding was subsequently raised 6lb to a mark of 120. Although very disappointing over fences in the Troytown Chase at Navan last time, the ground was very testing on that occasion. Racing off an 8lb lower mark back over flights, the seven-year-old can get his career back on track. Billy Lee Swagger, who made most when scoring over course and distance last time, has to hold every chance. Hat-trick seeking Our Uncle Jack steps up in trip here but has to be respected given his rich vein of form in recent weeks.
