Dorans Law has ben racing over hurdles since making his bumper debut at Punchestown in April. Locorotondo's close second at Roscommon last September puts him in the picture and he'll be better for his run at Fairyhouse earlier this month. Mister Vic has changed stables again after a close third at Downpatrick while Tankardstown Diva wasn't beaten far behind the long odds-on Arctic Gale at Fairyhouse. BLEU DE VASSY went for €235,000 after finishing second in a point at Necarne in April and will be expected to start paying his way in this moderate event.
