Formscan By Tom Weekes - WITHOUT EXCEPTION ran well in a higher-grade handicap here during Christmas and is ideally suited by conditions. A heavy-ground winner last February, he disappointed at Punchestown in November but ran well on his latest start, with both the fourth and fifth-placed horses in that race scoring subsequently. Veteran Cahirdown Boy was an unlucky loser of a Cork handicap chase 24 days ago and while now rated 106 in that sphere, hasn’t scored over hurdles since 2021. Grace Faraday reverts back in grade today and has useful recent form while Cordal Boy ran nicely on his recent reappearance run.
