FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Siobhan Rutledge gained many plaudits for her riding at Dundalk over the winter and the talented 7lb claimer can score on THE MOUSE DOCTOR. The 8-year-old has won over a similar trip at this venue and was third in the corresponding race two years ago. Rutledge got a good tune out of him when he narrowly beat Pempie on the polytrack in February and, although the latter comes here off the back of a win at Navan, the selection can confirm the form. Swift Verdict was just behind The Mouse Doctor at Dundalk in March when the pair were placed behind the useful Grandmaster Flash, and a case can be made for this well-bred 4-year-old at the revised weights. Dancing Approach made a winning start for Joseph O’Brien over 10f at this course last month and is a dual winner at this distance in Britain.
