FormscanBy Alan Magee - THE HOLY ONE appears to have found a good opportunity to open his account under rules. The Court Cave gelding won his only point-to-point start at Broughshane in Co. Antrim but has proved a very frustrating sort to follow since. Jessica Harrington’s charge was sent hurdling after filling the runner-up spot behind useful sorts on both bumper outings but, after initial promise, has failed to really progress including when going off favourite on three of his last six starts. A reproduction of his third to Try Again over this trip at Leopardstown on St Stephen’s Day would surely be good enough and perhaps the combination of a quick reappearance and an extra half-mile proved too much at the same venue just three days later. The cheek pieces worn twice at Leopardstown are retained here. Mason Jar rates the chief threat on his second at Clonmel last week, while Generalisation tried to make all when third to Mountain Fox over course and distance on his penultimate outing.
