FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Mohart and SEA SCORPION meet again after their Downpatrick encounter nearly three weeks back. On that occasion Tramore specialist James Dullea had his decision to send his charge way up north well justified. The County Cork raider beat Sea Scorpion by six and a half lengths then. Taking James O’Sullivan’s claim into account Sea Scorpion is six pounds better off this time and he has the advantage of being a previous Tramore scorer. That Graun Hill success came about in a two mile five furlong handicap and hopefully over the sixteen furlongs here on soft ground he’ll find a sufficient stamina test. Burlesque Queen and Without Limites have been demonstrating the wellness of the Liz Doyle string lately so everything should be in place for a big showing from Sea Scorpion. Plenty of others need considering too.
