FormscanBy Mark Nunan - CROSSING THE BAR, a three-time winner in Britain, was a little disappointing when favourite at Sligo last month after catching the eye on his Irish debut at Clonmel. He handles soft ground, may be better suited by this more galloping track and looks well handicapped at present. The unexposed Paddy's Milestone attracted plenty of market support when getting off the mark over this trip at Down Royal and can step forward again from that seasonal debut. Meehall won decisively at Galway last month but is markedly up in grade here and may have to settle for minor honours. Big Debates ran well for this rider in a valuable chase at this venue but his recent hurdles form is moderate. %0A%0A%0A
