FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Twice a winner over hurdles at this venue, MONBEG PARK holds strong claims for trainer Sean Thomas Doyle. Having got off the mark over fences at Wexford in July, the seven-year-old was runner-up to a potentially useful novice back at that same track recently. The Joseph O'Brien-trained Jordans is of definite interest on just his second start in this country. A four-time winner in his native France, the five-year-old made a pleasing Irish debut when chasing home a smart stablemate at Listowel. He should come on plenty from what was just his third run over fences. Willie Mullins's mare Pink In The Park is at her best on good ground, so once the rain stays away she has every chance.
