FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Course and distance winner CARLAS BIG JIM should appreciate stepping back up to this distance having raced over the minimum trip on his two most recent starts. A winner here in February, the six-year-old followed up at Gowran Park on his next outing. Although only fourth at Listowel recently, that form has subsequently been boosted. Wexford winner Win Some Lose Some had looked quite progressive prior to finishing in rear at Listowel last time. The Padraig Roche-trained gelding might be able to get back on track here with the quicker ground likely to suit. Course and distance winner Cozone has to be respected back at a venue where he has excelled in the past.
