VALOURS MINION (NAP) has taken a long time to show his true form but has finally come good this summer and can complete a hat-trick. Val O'Brien's charge has scored twice over fences to add to his victory over timber at Galway and makes a quick reappearance after landing a handicap chase at Listowel on Saturday. Johnston's Best has been narrowly beaten the last twice at Sligo though connections are unlikely to be pleased with another rise in the ratings while Barney King, who scored over the track and trip in June, was bogged down in the mud on a return visit and had to be pulled up. Forget And Forgive has only recently joined Dessie Hughes and has been running over fences. He should have more progress in him and can go well from his lowly spot in the handicap. Cyras Love looked a certain future winner at this time a year ago but hasn't been seen since and may just need the run.
