FormscanBy Tom Weekes - NONBINDING seemed to improve a little when winning well at Navan 20 days ago. His form had been reasonable prior to that win and while he gives away plenty weight, could continue to progress and is suited by a sound surface. Black Hawk Eagle is a mid-60 rated flat handicapper who won on hurdles debut at Roscommon but was helped by a late faller in the race and faces a tougher task. No Trouble was well held at Down Royal recently and while he had previously been in good form this year, is a seven-race maiden over hurdles. Betty Dutton is open to more improvement being a four year old but steps up in grade from her Roscommon win.
