FormscanBy Alan Magee - BLAZER is a tentative choice in an open event. The Willie Mullins-trained gelding is certainly an under achiever having promised much a number of years back and recent form figures don’t inspire confidence. However, a line can be put through his latest run at Punchestown after losing any chance at the start and he previously ran better than his finishing position would suggest on testing ground in the Leinster National at Naas. A reproduction of his fine effort off a mark of 140 at the Dublin Racing Festival last year would be good enough and blinkers are now fitted in place of cheek pieces. Mark Walsh is aboard JP McManus’ other runner Steer Clear who won decisively at Leopardstown in March, while others to consider include Demain Des L’aube, Best Behavior and Jack Holiday.
