Going - Yielding, Good to Yielding in places -changed after R2 to Good to Yielding, Good in places. Dry and bright

Formscan By Michael Graham - Mark McNiff has been among the winners recently and a chance is taken on his FASSBENDER. He hasn't been at his best in better company, but has been dropped 2lb and just gets into this basement grade. It is worth noting that he won on his last visit here and has a very good record in Downpatrick. Cheekpieces are fitted for the first time. Woodstream Lad certainly outran his 50/1 odds when third in an opportunity handicap hurdle at Sligo last month. That run came off a break of almost nine months and Mike O'Connor, who rides this track well, has been booked again. He would want the ground to dry out a bit. Silverstrand is a long-standing maiden, but is a threat on the back of a runner-up spot in Kilbeggan last month. Crafty Gael would have solid claims, but was declared to run in Kilbeggan on Saturday evening. Reserves Up And Out and Redwood Queen would both have chances if getting a run.
