FormscanBy Mark Nunan - SIBERIAN STAR won over hurdles at this venue in March and has been gradually progressive over fences. He was touched off at Navan last time and can go one better off a light weight. Shes Some Doll jumped well when winning a beginners’ chase at Tramore and the runner-up franked the form at the weekend. Gavin Cromwell’s charge is another at the right end of the handicap. Millen to One won over hurdles at this fixture last year and his third on handicap chase debut over 2m at Fairyhouse was encouraging. He’ll appreciate going back up in trip while the ultra-consistent Favori Loqique is another to consider albeit his string of fine efforts in recent months have all come at right-handed tracks.
