FormscanBy John O'Riordan - The Tony Mullins-trained OAKLEY can recover losses having been a beaten favourite at Tipperary earlier this month. A bad mistake at the penultimate flight ended supporters hopes, as everything had looked to be going to plan up to that point. A dual winner on the flat, boasting a rating of 67, he could be very well treated off just 95 over jumps. Compensation awaits those that remain loyal to the former German trained six-year-old. Mister Wilson has been chasing of late but Gavin Cromwell's gelding is of definite interest reverting to hurdles off a lower mark. He shaped well on his latest start when second at Ballinrobe. Redwood Queen is another to note, although the mare may require more of a gap between her races.
