FormscanBy Alan Magee - DESERTMORE HOUSE showed some promise in bumpers including when third at Fairyhouse before switching to hurdles for an impressive win at Wexford. The point-to-point winner showed a tendency to jump left which would be of concern around here but such was the ease of his victory last time he rates a solid chance to follow up. Bella Bliss filled the runner-up spot behind Happy D’ex here last month but has won both outings since in impressive fashion at Sligo and Cartmel. He’s Leading Me On is also progressing nicely and is another on a hat-trick after wins at Tramore and Sligo last month, while Magheralin Mick and Some Dove also come here off the back of a win.
