FormscanBy Michael Graham - A tricky puzzle. COUSIN HARRY has the ability to land a blow, particularly with James O’Sullivan claiming 7lb from him. He travelled well in his last race at Listowel before finishing third. That was a better-class contest, so it is reasonable to expect him to get in the mix. He has each-way claims. SANI PASS has much more upside than most. She has only had four outings and has taken the runner-up berth twice. She can be competitive off a mark of 95 in her first handicap. Ashton Court has finished runner-up in three of his last four races, so wouldn’t be winning out of turn. He is a long-standing maiden but this is a fair opportunity for him. Heliers Bay, in the first-time cheekpieces, wasn’t far behind Ashton Court in third at Roscommon. She won a handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe in August and has valid claims.
