FormscanBy Gary Carson - PIER PRESSURE ran well for Amy Jo Hayes at Naas last time and looks capable of winning again off this kind of mark. The Kingman gelding went for home a furlong-and-a-half out then but was chased down in the closing stages by stablemate Mr King and Barbapapa. That looked a strong enough contest and he is only a pound higher now. Shigar has been knocking on the door and has to be respected having been left on the same mark as when third at Leopardstown last time. Grey Leader is another who was third at Leopardstown last time and also has to come into calculations.
