FormscanBy Gary Carson - BAILY THUNDER comes into this with his confidence high after two wins at Sligo and may be able to land the hat-trick. Mouse Morris' horse had placed form on softer ground in the past but really seems to have thrived on better going recently. Going up in trip again shouldn't be a problem given the way he has finished out his races. The chestnut switches back to timber after an easy chase success last time and faces off again against Fruits Of Glory, who chased him home at Sligo over hurdles early last month. On 3lb better terms the runner-up obviously has to be a danger now. The Trigger turns out again after a short break having seen his winning run come to and end at Tipperary last month. He may be on a high enough mark now.
