FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Once rated 87 when a three-time winner in Britain, NEW SOCIETY seems to have been rejuvenated by a spell of hurdling and went in off 59 back on the Flat at Fairyhouse on Friday. Sorcha Woods had him well-positioned throughout and takes the mount again, and the Rock Of Gibraltar gelding can defy a 6lb mandatory penalty over this similar trip. Oh So Chic was slowly away before finishing well for third over 1m4f on the same Fairyhouse card and, although she doesn’t look the most straightforward, this longer trip could suit and she may concentrate better in a first-time visor. Handicap hurdle winner Guido Reni is a long-standing maiden on the level but stayed on to be fourth at Leopardstown last week and is one to consider, while Mountain Fox has been placed in eight of his ten runs at this course so his each-way claims are obvious.
