FormscanBy Mark Nunan - PALE BLUE DOT got off the mark in a Bellewstown maiden last month and can go well after a creditable sixth over this trip when back in handicap company at Listowel. The experienced six-year-old is down in grade and Denis Hogan has enlisted a 7lb claimer to reduce the burden of top weight. Sargent Lightfoot has won over hurdles and fences at Kilbeggan this summer and wasn’t beaten far when fourth on his most recent start in this discipline. The veteran cross-country chaser Hurricane Darwin did really well to win over hurdles at Listowel after his summer break and can’t be ruled out off a 5lb higher mark. Serpolette, a winner over 2m6f at Tramore in July, was nearest at the finish when runner-up over 2m at Navan and will appreciate this trip.
