FormscanBy Michael Graham - BOLD ENOUGH has really taken to fences and can bring up his hat-trick. He looks ready for this step up in class after winning novice chases in Wexford and Roscommon by eight lengths. He jumped very well bar one fence on his last outing in Roscommon. The Jeremy gelding handles deep ground if the rains come. Fan De Blues ought to have had his confidence boosted after a victory in a beginners' chase at Punchestown. Prior to that, he had been keeping good company so has to be feared. Bold Enough's stablemate Gin On Lime is aiming for a four-timer over fences after being placed to good effect in May, June and July. She likes to get on with it and was in dominant form in those three victories. She is not going to be passed easily.
