Formscan By Mark Nunan - CLEVELEYS, twice a winner over 6f last year, has hit a bit of form for his new yard this month and has a decent chance in an ordinary handicap. Richard O'Brien’s charge wasn’t beaten far over this trip when sixth in a big field at Cork just over a week ago and stayed on well for second when turned out again just three days later at Limerick on Saturday. He can race off a 2lb lower mark here and in-form Billy Lee has the inside stall to work with. The Blue Panther continues to tumble in the ratings but has been showing a bit more promise in recent starts. He was a fair fourth over course and distance last week and has come down another 3lb since then. Inishmot Prince won twice over 5f at Dundalk earlier in the year and was nearest at the finish when fifth in a big field at the Curragh last time. That was over an extended 6f and he’s worth a shot at this longer trip.
