FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - ARTHUR’S BABY hasn’t had much luck since bolting up at Cork in early August. From off the pace she failed to get to the winner when upped in trip at Wexford next time. The victor then, Balinaboola Steel, showed the form in the good light when winning again at Bettyville since. It was on to Punchestown then for Arthur’s Baby where she made a mistake and unseated rider at the second. Hopefully she’ll enjoy better fortune now, and build on the promise of the Cork success, albeit off a thirteen pound higher mark. John Joe Walsh has two runners, Blanketontheground and Romella. Expect this pair to make an impression. Each-way cases can be built for many of them.
