FormscanBy Mark Nunan - A useful sort in bumpers, this looks a good opportunity for DREAMINGANDHOPING to get off the mark over hurdles. Taken out of what looked a tougher contest at Navan last weekend, the Shirocco mare has run well in three of her four starts in this discipline and the form of her third to Gentleman Du Mee at Naas last time gives her leading claims here. The latter’s stable companion Gelee Blanche can be forgiven a blip at Gowran last time as the ground was too testing for a lot of horses that day and the form of her first two hurdle runs makes her the likeliest threat to the selection. Second to the smart Royal Kahala in her first bumper start, Socially Distant hasn’t gone on from that but could contend for minor honours on her hurdling debut along with the likes of Suil Alainn and recent Punchestown fourth Davitt Road Glory.
