Formscan By Alan Magee - SEA OF DOUBT filled the runner-up spot twice in maiden hurdles last year including at this venue and opened her account when returning here after a winter break earlier this month. The Ian Donoghue-trained mare drew clear up the closing hill and gets the vote to follow up with Josh Williamson again taking off a valuable 5lb. Arcland, Seskin Flash and Tell Us This are other course winners to consider, and the latter was claimed out of Gavin Cromwell’s yard after winning at Tramore last month. I’ll Be Handy switches to handicap company after a winter break and merits respect on his second to Adrienne at Fairyhouse.

Quotes on Arcland (IRE)
Absolutely (still getting to know him). I suppose he was drawn wide and was stuck on the wing the whole way and was a bit keen with Robert. He stuck at it well and he did find plenty,. First run for us over hurdles in Downpatrick was very encouraging. He was off a very low mark there today. It was nice to win with him. Absolutely (mix and match over the summer months). He's going to get a penalty but I can't imagine it could be too big, he's still going to be in the low grade.

Quotes on Seskin Flash (IRE)
It was a lovely ride. He can be a bit free and I suppose the horses he was behind maybe weren't up to much or whatever. He just got into it probably a bit sooner than we hoped, but he was good.

Quotes on Sea Of Doubt (IRE)
Josh said they went a really good gallop, and always knew he was going to get there. He gave her a great ride. He is well worth his 5lb claim and is in with us every Monday for the last six months. He is a good young lad, works hard and we are happy to be able to use him. We were disappointed with her last year when it just took her a long time to learn how to race and she had plenty of good runs without winning. She was either be too keen or jump badly, whereas she put it all together today. She'll mix and match over fences for the summer and this is a good start.
