FormscanBy Mark Nunan - BARRY LYNDON won a maiden at this course on debut just over a year ago and likes good ground. Dermot McLoughlin's charge ran solid races in defeat at Fairyhouse over Easter and in a useful conditions contest here last month and may be suited by this longer distance. Donkey Years hasn't won since landing a valuable handicap chase at the festival meeting here two years ago. He has twice run well off his much lower hurdles mark since returning from an 11-month layoff. Bella Bliss has been well held on her most recent hurdle outings but has shaped much better over fences in recent weeks. A three-time winner in this discipline, she stays well and will relish the ground.
