FormscanBy Gary Carson - BALTINGLASS HILL has run well on his two outings over fences and has a nice weight in this with Tiernan Power Roche taking off 7lb. The Cable Bay gelding was fourth in a competitive enough contest at Sligo last time and remains on the same mark of 93. Must Be Dreaming won well on her penultimate outing at Tramore before finding Grade 3 company too hot in Punchestown. She has a shout here if on a going day. Someone's Wish didn't run too badly over timber at Navan the other day and his chase form is stronger. He's another for the shortlist.
