FormscanBy Gary Carson - Not a strong looking contest and four-time course and distance winner TAI SING YEH may be able to bag another win at the track. He didn't make much impression on the beach at Laytown last time but had run well to finish runner-up at Leopardstown previously and looks to have slipped to a winnable mark. Stablemate Rocky Dreams has a similar profile, having also won four over course and distance and comes here off the back of a moderate run at Laytown. He could be the danger. Hero Of The Hour is a three-time course and distance winner and is another that has to be on the shortlist on his return to action.
