FormscanBy Gary Carson - Galvin is surely unlikely to turn out again here bar an early fall or mishap in the Plate. Presuming he doesn't turn up POLISHED STEEL looks the one to side with. He impressed when winning on his chase debut at Tipperary at the start of the month and didn't run too badly when having a spin on the Flat at Killarney last time. This looks a nice stepping stone for him over fences. Russian Diamond could be a danger on his chase debut for connections that love to have a winner at this meeting. He took his bumper here last season and went on to show some smart form over timber. It was a decent run on his return at Tipperary at the start of this month and he is sure to be primed for this assignment. The mare Dime A Dozen was a good winner over fences at Tipperary last time and also has to be considered getting weight from the geldings.%0A
