FormscanBy Donal Murphy - I sided with a James Nash trained runner in the previous contest and I'm going to do the same here with PIXIE SPIRIT getting the nod. This consistent son of Namid has struck up a great partnership with Ana O'Brien and he has never been worse than second when the young apprentice has been on board. He found the in-form Ucanchoose just a half a length too good at Bellewstown last Saturday and he can be expected to go one place better now. La Canaada was a further length and three parts behind the selection at the aforementioned Co Meath venue and he looks to have solid each-way claims while course and distance winner Above The Law is another to consider. The well-touted Donagh O'Connor has his first ride aboard Miller Beach here and it will be interesting to see how they get on.
