FLYING SCOTSMAN struggled when sent off favourite in a tougher handicap at Galway last month but Joseph O’Brien’s charge can fare much better at this lower level having earlier won a maiden hurdle at Navan when beating Na Caith Tobac.

Baltinglass Hill bids for a hat-trick having won a handicap over a shorter trip here a fortnight ago with Varna Gold and Crassus others with a shout in an open affair.
