FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Cork form from Easter Monday is likely to come to the fore here. On that afternoon at Mallow Winged Leader failed to justify odds-on favouritism when second behind Warriors Tale, whilst WRONG DIRECTION got it done, also at a skimpy price, in a maiden hunters event. With that breakthrough success on the racecourse now bagged, Wrong Direction is taken to upstage his younger and higher profile rival. Mistakes littered Templebredin’s round at Down Royal on St Patrick’s Day. Cheek-pieces are likely to sharpen him up over these handier fences. Save Us Avis and The Forge Hill seem sure to represent the fairer sex well, but places in the frame may be the best they will be able to manage.
