FormscanBy Alan Magee - PRINCE OF AIR has gained both career wins at Tramore including over course and distance this spring and has been generally consistent since. The selection beat all bar Must Be Dreaming here last time, while Itsalonglongroad is another well suited by this tight circuit winning here four times and is certainly at his best going right-handed. Lake Chad has won twice here over fences, but both came over longer trips including an easy victory over 2m6f in August. Rusheen won a 2m4f hurdle on testing ground at Fairyhouse last winter and it will be interesting to see if the market speaks in his favour switching to fences on his reappearance.
