Going - Good to Yielding, Good in places. Overcast

Formscan By Gary Carson - Gary Noonan takes a useful 7lb off the back of top-weight THE GREY LAD and he may be able to strike again on the Paul Flynn-trained gelding. He was on board when the grey opened his account in good style at Down Royal in early June and the Fame And Glory gelding ran well at Killarney last month when chasing home Vale Of Glory. He's still relatively unexposed with seven career outings and may still have another win in him despite a 4lb rise for his last run. It's a competitive event and the consistent Hophornbeam could be a danger. She ran well when fourth at Galway last time and is just a pound higher now. Fassbender didn't run too badly on the level here last time and back over hurdles he's another one that has to come into the mix.
