FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Rowing in behind J P McManus could be the way to go here, and the powerhouse owner has three to choose from. On debut for Henry de Bromhead Memory Tree heads the weights, but he could find it tough conceding weight to the likes of NEVER OFF DUTY for the ‘green and gold.’ Robert Tyner’s charge is the choice of McManus number one, Mark Walsh, and he was noted running satisfactorily over flights at Navan nearly a fortnight back. On the face of it there was nothing great about that ninth placed effort behind Youngnedofthehill. However it was the chestnut’s first outing for 351 days and he looks bound to come forward for it. He clearly hasn’t been easy to train but he won his maiden hurdle at this venue and all seems in place for a big performance now.
