FormscanBy Michael Graham - CAILEAN'S ANGEL looked an out-and-out stayer in Tipperary and should relish this assignment. That was her first run since switching to Gavin Cromwell and she powered home by seven and a half lengths in a three mile handicap hurdle. She won that off a mark of 99 so has to have a strong chance off 9lb lower in this sphere. Blustery blew the opposition away at 40/1 over an extended two miles six furlongs in Limerick. Better ground was attributed to her improvement in form. A 6lb rise may not prevent her from following up over this longer trip. Dundeedy Lad has been placed in his last couple of handicap chases and connections will be looking to bank another cheque.
