FormscanBy Gary Carson - A tricky looking little heat and JASKO DES DAMES may be able to double up over fences after making a successful start at Wexford late last month. The It's Gino gelding was value for a bit more than his winning margin of half a length then, after getting under the last fence, and there looks scope for further improvement. The mare Broomfield Bijou also carries a winners' penalty and takes a drop in class having been third in Grade 3 company here last month. Chase newcomer Undeniable Alibi is another for the shortlist. The Saint des Saints gelding was a point-to-point winner and may improve on his hurdles form from last season.
