FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Plenty with chances in a competitive handicap and recent Down Royal runner-up EASTMORE is a tentative selection. Useful on the Flat last year, the Awtaad gelding seemed to benefit from the application of a tongue-tie when staying on well over a furlong shorter last time and the lightly-raced four-year-old is open to improvement. Riyami, for whom JJ Slevin is an interesting booking, has been running well under both codes this year and was third over this trip at Kilbeggan last month. King Kali was narrowly denied at Naas in the spring and ran well in a Killarney maiden when last seen in July. He may find the trip a fraction short but should give a good account nonetheless.%0A%0A
