FormscanBy John O'Riordan - A winner over fences at Wexford last time, OUTSIDE THE DOOR should be able to exploit a more favourable rating over hurdles. Raised to a mark of 123 on the back of that recent success, the Milan gelding can race off just 107 in this discipline. Given that he had finished a close up third over flights at Sligo on his penultimate start, the eight-year-old looks well treated here. Hypersonic Missile, who had valid excuses when a beaten favourite over course and distance in August, made amends at Ballinrobe last time. A consistent sort of late, the Gavin Cromwell-trained gelding holds leading claims. Vaureal, a surprise winner of his maiden hurdle at this track last time, has to be of interest on handicap debut.
