FormscanBy Michael Graham - Wide-margin bumper-winner BALLYBOUGH NATIVE sets a good standard after staying on well to get to within a length and a quarter of a Punchestown maiden hurdle winner at the end of May. Female Approach has two victories on the Flat to her name. She has been placed once in her three races over flights, but the suspicion is there is more to come from her particularly in this field. Dorans Boy posted his best effort to date when finishing third over further at Limerick, so should be eyeing another cheque. Support for Viceregent would be noteworthy. Patricks Hill ran well when placed in two maiden hurdles last year. He reverts back to flights after a couple of unplaced runs in bumpers in May.
