IT’S VALE OF CHEERS

SCRUTINY (2.35) can maintain Kevin Ryan’s flying start to the season in the 1m 2f handicap.

A dual winner at this venue, the gelding was an excellent second to the reopposing Critical Thinking at Lingfield and can exact his revenge back at his favourite track.

Victor Thompson’s hurdler has been in cracking form recently and remains on a workable mark after chasing home clear-cut winner Our Lucas at Carlisle.
MALL DINI (5.00) can defy the Elliott and Mullins battalions in the Irish National at Fairyhouse.
Pat Kelly’s gelding is a high-class stayer and should be cherry ripe for a big run after his tremendous second to Missed Approach in the Kim Muir at the Festival.
Earlier, Willie Mullins’s superstar UN DE SCEAUX (4.25) can enjoy a confidence-boosting win the Devenish Chase.
