FormscanBy Alan Magee - GOLDEN SANDBANKS has really got the winning habit scoring three times (2 chases/1 hurdle) over the past couple of months. The Paul Flynn-trained gelding had Happaugue close behind when just denied at Bellewstown last month before successfully switching to fences at Sligo. He remains on a competitive mark and likes good ground. Peace Party won two similar events last year and has been a model of consistency this term without getting his head in front. Red Striker is another in good form having won a Sligo hurdle last month and scored in fine style over fences at Ballinrobe last time. Well Funded got up close home to win at Listowel last Monday and should give a good account off a 5lb higher mark.
