FormscanBy Gary Carson - JUST JACOB may just have been getting a bit lonely in front at Tramore last time and was good value for his two-and-a-quarter length win after making all the running then. He went up 9lb but if he gets an easy lead again around here he could take a bit of pegging back. Erigmoor chased him home and is now half a stone better off with the winner. He has been knocking on the door and looks like an obvious contender again. Red Ball Of Fire ran a solid race in a beginners chase at Downpatrick last time. He tries handicaps now for the first time over the larger obstacles and is on the same mark as his hurdles rating.
