FormscanBy Michael Graham - FILON D'OUDAIRIES lost out by the minimum margin over C%26D at the start of the month and could get compensation here. Another 7lb claimer, Charlie O'Dwyer, has been booked so he is on a more than competitive mark. Drying ground is very much in his favour. Cahirdown Boy looked held in second when falling at the penultimate fence over further in Limerick. That form got a boost, though, when the winner followed up in a novice handicap chase at Naas. Dreamsrmadeofthis didn't trouble the judge on two previous visits to this track, but she arrives in much better form this time after a runner-up berth at Tramore in October.
