FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Quirky DOLLAR VALUE is in a good place currently and has claims despite competing from a career high mark. Sometimes troublesome at the start, his recent runs have been fine efforts, making all at a fast pace at Navan and while dropping 2f in distance isn't ideal, has the inside draw in 1 to help him away quickly. Pin Your Hopes won a CD maiden in December and while he has plenty weight and is draw wide in 12, comes here in good form. Never Mistabeat's best form was here last winter and he should go well from a light weight having had a recent Down Royal pipe-opener following a 112 days break. Blue Shadow was a CD handicap winner last November, was beaten a short-head at Roscommon latest and has obvious claims despite a wide draw in 15. Four-time course winner Chateau Musar won from a 1lb lower mark in April and should run well on his first run for 67 days. Dual course winner Golden Valour hasn't run since June and his best form has been over slightly shorter while Effernock Fizz normally front-runs but was slowly away at Leopardstown latest and is winless from 11 all-weather starts.
