Formscan By Tom Weekes - TULLYHOGUE FORT is a three-time winner who continues in form and is suited by this distance and soft ground. He defeated Likable Chancer by 3.75 lengths at Tipperary in July and while 5lb worse off, has a small edge as Likable Chancer's (which bumped into a well-handicapped winner at Listowel) best form is over slightly shorter and on better ground. Leish Oscars Son finished behind Likable Chancer at Listowel while Avec Espoir ran well over a similar distance at Listowel (Definiteadare was fourth) but would prefer a sound surface. Glenmalure Lodge gained a deserved first success at Ballinrobe but is better on a sound surface. Movie King is rated 7lb higher over fences but heavy ground is also concerning. Black Samurai is a CD winner whose rating has fallen in recent times but prefers a sound surface.
