FormscanBy Alan Magee - This looks a good opportunity for STEP OUT to open his account. The well-bred gelding was second in an Ayr bumper this spring and has also filled the runner-up spot twice since in hurdles over this course and distance including when narrowly denied by Going Live. He was making the running when unseating rider two out here last month. Shinnhill showed some promise behind Le Coq Hardi at Down Royal but is well held by the selection on his latest outing here, while Marcher Lord has been lightly raced since winning a Navan maiden on debut for Willie McCreery and it will be interesting to see how he goes over hurdles following a lengthy lay-off. Bodybuilder won a point-to-point in the UK but was soundly beaten behind the impressive Belloccio in a Punchestown maiden hurdle with Mortimer Duke further behind.
