Formscan By Alan Magee - TUFF DAYS won a point-to-point in May and has been a model of consistency since in staying handicap hurdles. He’s been second twice over this trip at Kilbeggan and was hampered on the run-in at Downpatrick last time. Menindee and Dinoland were only separated by half-a-length when fighting out the finish over course and distance last month. The David Christie-trained mare successfully switched to fences at Kilbeggan last time and again looks sure to give a good account with stamina at a premium. The well-bred Appian Way won twice for Charles O’Brien last autumn and wasn’t beaten too far at Roscommon earlier this month.
