Phangio, a winner between the flags in May, reverted to hurdles on a lowly mark at Roscommon and duly obliged though a 12lb rise makes this much more difficult. WANDERING AENGUS, who was 12 lengths behind, was having his first start since October and with that under his belt and a big pull in the weights he's taken to reverse the form and land this. Keep Swinging had shown very little before attracting some support at Wexford where he scored over 2m2f - he's up 7lb and this is a much longer trip. Mallards In Flight was in excellent form over fences and was expected to revert to hurdles with a victory from a much lower mark at Clonmel but fluffed his lines and will need to do much better. Ruby Walsh's presence on winning point-to-pointer Quiet Account could prove significant and he's one to keep on the right side.
