FormscanBy John O'Riordan - The Willie Mullins-trained ARCTIC FLY can make it two-from-two over fences. A smart hurdler at her best, the six-year-old made a winning chase debut when just doing enough at Killarney last month. Although improvement will be required stepping up to graded company here, the daughter of Walk In The Park could well be up to the task. Bowmore was very impressive on his first start over fences at Tipperary in July but disappointed at Killarney subsequently. If able to reproduce that initial effort, the Henry De Bromhead-trained gelding would be a serious contender. Thecompanysergeant, who finished behind Bowmore at Tipperary, has plenty of experience over fences so should be able to make his presence felt.
