Going - Soft (Hurdle), Yielding to Soft (Chase). Fine

Formscan By Michael Graham - DOYEN FOR A DRINK departed at the penultimate flight when travelling well in the lead at Limerick last month. She encounters similar trip and ground, so should be heavily involved. Coffeys Forge has been out of form, but has joined Gordon Elliott who is well able to reinvigorate new recruits. Peter Smithers takes 7lb off top-weight Elusive Guy's back and his sixth in a slightly better class of race at Limerick over Christmas gives him a chance. Mount Shenshan drops back in trip after a fourth place at Ballinrobe in the summer and she isn't out of it on her handicap debut.
