FormscanBy Alan Magee - This doesn’t appear the most competitive of races with the bottom three out of the handicap proper and a number struggling to find their form so it looks best to concentrate on SIR BOB and R’evelyn Pleasure. The selection ran well over course and distance last Christmas when staying on in third behind Regina Dracones and successfully switched back to hurdles for an easy win in Cork at Easter. He showed the benefit of an outing at Naas last month when successful at Punchestown last week and can follow up off a 6lb higher mark. R’evelyn Pleasure hasn’t won beyond 2m4f but stayed on well into fourth in the Mayo National at Ballinrobe and should be spot on after an encouraging reappearance at Thurles this month. Forza Milan and Blast Of Koeman look the pick of the remainder.
