FormscanBy Tom Weekes - BRENNUS LESCRIBAA returns following a disappointing pulled up run in a similar unplaced maiden at Naas in December but had previously shown ability. His initial two hurdle runs were useful, and indeed ran well behind two smart types at Punchestown, and while reported to be 'post race normal' at Naas, has at least had a break and contests a weak contest. Whateys Quest's form is in-and-out but ran well at Cork recently. He has a race-fitness edge but is vulnerable to more able types. Midweek Voices ran a fine race at Limerick last November, from which the winner, runner-up and fifth-placed horses have won subsequently. He has been well beaten subsequently but if he can recapture his best form, has strong claims. Splendid Choice debuts for a new yard while Yourbirdcansing returns from a winter's break with her best form being on a sound surface.
