FormscanBy Mark Nunan - After seven months off, BILLY LEE SWAGGER shaped well on his reappearance at Punchestown and is probably still on a winnable mark after a 3lb hike. He steps up markedly in trip and wouldn't want the ground to dry out too much but is likely to go close if improving for this test of stamina. Doitforjanesid was unable to land a blow in a Pertemps qualifier at Punchestown but won his first two handicap starts with plenty to spare and had Crossing The Bar back in fourth when successful over this trip at Sligo in October. The latter has been in good form since joining Cian Collins while his stablemate Robyndeglory returned to form when a fast-finishing third at Tipperary.%0A%0A%0A
