FormscanBy Gary Carson - A tricky looking contest and INOTHEWAYURTHINKIN may be able to give weight to his rivals dropping in class. The Walk In The Park gelding wasn't disgraced when finishing fourth in Grade 1 company at Naas last month and it's interesting that he drops back to two miles again having not quite seen out the almost two-and-a-half mile trip last time. The distance would be a worry for American Mike, who missed an intended engagement over two-miles-six at Leopardstown last weekend. The classy bumper performer won his maiden hurdle over that trip at Down Royal and though he has a touch of class this looks on the short side. Hunters Yarn was much better when winning at Naas last time but may still have to sharpen up his jumping a touch, up in grade now.
