FormscanBy John O'Riordan - The Joseph O'Brien-trained PRAIRIE DANCER can register a first career success over fences. A high class flat handicapper who also won on four occasions over hurdles, the six-year-old shaped with plenty of promise when runner-up at Tipperary on his most recent outing over fences. Entitled to improve from that, his second ever chase, the gelding should be ideally suited to making the running around a tight track such as this. Although a long way behind Prairie Dancer at Tipperary, Bardenstown Lad returned to form when winning over hurdles at this venue last time. A former winning point-to-pointer, the John McConnell-trained gelding has to be a contender. Limerick runner-up Stuzzikini is another to consider, especially as a former course winner over hurdles here.
