Formscan By Gary Carson - MODE AVION was an impressive winner in handicap company at Fairyhouse last month and this looks like a nice opportunity to bag a follow up win. The French-bred gelding eased down for a comprehensive success then and was put up to a mark of 128, which sets the standard now. Kilmeaden is rated only a couple of pounds inferior and is the obvious danger. He was a touch disappointing last time at Naas when beaten favourite but was good previously in Punchestown. The maiden Dschingis Desire gets the allowances and is another that has to come into calculations.
