FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Hopefully the ground will be safe enough to allow Harry Kelly unleash his nice young prospect, ON IMPULSE. Granted his decent bumper form, including his win at Thurles, was achieved on a much slower surface, but if Kelly is willing to run the Flemensfirth five-year-old now he must be happy enough that good going won't be any impediment. Sean Flanagan will certainly get On Impulse into his jumping rhythm and he's said to have schooled very promisingly. Myles Ahead is another likeable type to graduate from the bumper ranks and his supporters will point to the fact that he's more likely to be suited by the underfoot terrain than On Impulse. Vision Du Coeur, rated 97, has the experience but he's vulnerable to a smart one. Fredsmemory likes the course and is an each-way contender. Little Jimmy Brown could be next whilst it should be revealing to see how the long absent Brand Ambassador goes in the betting.
