FormscanBy Tom Weekes - A useful mares' maiden and ERINS BENEFIT could win on jumps debut. She was beaten in her initial two bumpers but ran good races in defeat before routing her rivals to win at Bellewstown in August. She won in the style of a capable mare then and while the ground was easy and the opposition soft, she powered home, is already well proven on a sound surface and appears the type to do well over jumps stepping up in trip. The obvious danger is another smart prospect Beret Rouge, who herself created a very favourable impression when winning at Roscommon in June. The form of that bumper is nothing special but she did win very easily and it will be very interesting to see her also going up in trip against ERINS BENEFIT today. Walking Fame was a controversial winner of a Downpatrick bumper latest and while experienced over hurdles, needs to improve to win today. Felicidad makes her debut for a new trainer having been with Nick Williams in Britain and while progression is possibly, she might struggle to win. Eightytwo Team carries the same colours as the delightfully misspelled winner Nintytwo Team of the 00's although she is best watched on debut today.%0A
