Formscan By Gary Carson - ACLASS is interesting here switched back to fences off his hurdles mark. The Flemensfirth gelding has been knocking on the door over timber and is still unexposed in this sphere after two runs. He had three letters beside his name in points but two of those were unseats on the flat and he looked an unlucky loser on his final start. There looks scope for improvement over fences. Person Of Interest ran well when third at Clonmel last time and has been eased a pound since. He’s an obvious contender. Ballagh Star was a narrow winner at Sligo at the start of last month and should be competitive again after just a 4lb rise.
