FormscanBy Michael Graham - CLIFFTOP made a pleasing return to racing when third in a 10-furlong contest on yielding ground at Roscommon last month. He travelled strongly there, before his progress petered out in the final furlong. This drop back to a mile (a trip he has previously won over) could see him to good effect. Mountain Fox hasn't scored in 25 starts on the flat, but continues to be well backed. He has come home third on his last couple of starts, and is likely to run his race again. The 10-year-old, Tennessee Wildcat, ran on nicely for fourth at Tipperary. A good run from Clueless Hill (who was a place in front of him) in division one of this race would boost confidence in Tennessee Wildcat. Musalsal was a beaten favourite in fifth at Fairyhouse, but can do better.
