FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Galway runner-up IN FOR THE NIGHT can go one place better. The six-year-old, who had finished third on his previous start at Ballinrobe in August, looks to be running into form. Stepping back up to this trip for the first time since his third outing in maiden company should also suit. A winner over fences at Wexford on his penultimate start, Duty Bound is 7lb lower over hurdles. Having run a solid race on the Flat at Listowel recently, the Kingman gelding should have every chance. Happy Dreams is a definite contender if fit enough on his first start since March. The Michael McDonagh-trained seven-year-old, who is a four-time winner over fences, is nicely treated off an 18lb lower mark over flights.
