Formscan By Alan Magee - JUNOT hasn’t been seen on the Flat for 12 months but has built up a consistent series of placed efforts in handicap hurdles including when just denied over 2m4f at Fairyhouse. He now reverts to the level for a first Flat handicap off a basement mark. Game Nation recorded a 50/1 shock win on his last Flat start over 1m4f at Galway last October but hasn’t made much impact since over hurdles. Nannie Dee was placed on soft ground for the Crisfords last year and Colin Keane is an eye-catching booking while Chopsticks appreciated the addition of cheek pieces when runner-up to the well supported Alphonse Le Grande at Dundalk last month.
