FormscanBy Stuart Howden - Gordon Elliott and Danny Gilligan teamed up to win this race 12 months ago and that pair appear to have another big chance with DOCTOR NIGHTINGALE this time around. Although facing much better ground conditions than when opening her account on heavy at Limerick, she has run well on quick enough surfaces in the past and makes plenty of appeal on only her second handicap start. Whotookthebiscuit cuts back in trip after disappointing at Punchestown and it's worth noting that Rachael Blackmore rides her for the first time, while Redwood Queen and Magic Olinger are others to keep an eye on.
