FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - MITHMAAR finished third to a bang-in-form mare when taking the bronze medal behind Aprils Joy at Bellewstown last week. Just a couple of days before, Aprils Joy had landed a Kilbeggan maiden hurdle, and as we all know a mare-in-form can be a formidable opponent for any horse. Mithmaar didn’t go un-supported for his Hill of Crockafotha spin, and he could well step-up a couple of places now with the cheek-pieces on to help. Swelltime certainly finished with a rattle in a Tipperary maiden hurdle last time. He has to be considered a big danger to all. Oromo, Allora Yeats, Reddiac, Cache Queen and Grove Hill are among the others for the short-list.
