FormscanBy Mark Nunan - A MERE BAGATELLE got off the mark in a handicap hurdle at Cartmel in June and has been very consistent since then. The five-year-old has been mixing it between chasing and hurdling and wasn’t beaten far on his latest start in this discipline when fourth at Bellewstown last month. Danny Mullins takes over in the saddle for the first time. Cracklinrose, runner-up over hurdles at Kilbeggan in July, has a red hot claimer on board and ran well on her most recent start when third in a handicap chase at Tramore. The 7lb taken off her back by Michael O’Sullivan could make all the difference. Berliet Express is another who reverts from chasing. His last hurdles run saw him chase home a progressive mare at Ballinrobe and he’ll enjoy the forecast good ground.
