FormscanBy Michael Graham - Blinkers worked a treat on ORYX HUSTLER in Tramore and he should give this another good go. The five-year-old gelding landed a gamble from the front in Tramore. He was strong at the finish in that maiden hurdle and ought to appreciate this step up in trip for his chasing debut. Dedanann is a threat. A patient race was ridden on him in Wexford over an extended three miles and he delivered under Trevor Ryan who retains the ride. His stablemate, Nymphhall, came from a long way back to finish third in a beginners' chase at Limerick and could have apart to play. Arrycan faced a tough task on chasing debut at Limerick but finished third at 150/1. He can contend for more prize money.
