FAROUT, just touched off in a Grade B handicap hurdle at the Punchestown Festival, reverts to the Flat on a winning mark and has Jody Townend's claim to aid his cause. Dances With Stars has been in tremendous form at Dundalk and there's no reason to believe he won't act in Turf while Amir Kabir has joined Gordon Elliott after winning at Bath for Roger Charlton in October. Safecracker was returning from a very long break when beaten just a length at Cork while Julie Burke's booking for Sheishybrid catches the eye. The latter rider rode over 80 winners in the UK and Ireland before heading for the US where she's ridden 85 winners.
