Ricky Langford is 2-3 on the track and has been in fine form over hurdles. He's a couple of pounds wrong at the weights but should make a bold bid to complete a double initiated by his victory over timber at Cork. THE DASHER CONWAY (NAP), a winner at Tramore in June, was then placed in a Listed handicap here last month before headed at the last over 2m3f at Kilbeggan. He's definitely on the upgrade and can go in again. Too Bright has disappointed in handicaps since landing a beginners' chase on the latter track but Irish Blaze should be getting off the mark over fences soon judging by a close fifth at Wexford a fortnight ago, his first start since April.
