FormscanBy John O'Riordan - RISING DUST can step up on his recent Punchestown second to win here for veteran trainer Michael Hourigan. A frequent visitor to the winners' enclosure at this track over the years, the Limerick man would like nothing better than to return to the number one spot. The gelded son of Leading Light appears to have strong claims of providing that much sought after success. Sheephaven Flyer proved a costly failure for followers of the Emmet Mullins yard when unseating after being hampered at Downpatrick last month. The Milan gelding had appeared to show improved form when runner-up in a point-to-point on stable debut. Clonmel third Toucan Do is another that should be involved at the business end of the race.
