Formscan By Tom Weekes - Progressive POTTERS PAL might give his newly licensed trainer success with a first runner. The selection finished behind today’s rival Harty Cup last February but subsequently showed more when landing a gamble the following month and, having won on chase debut at Listowel last month, can continue to improve. Harty Cup is similarly progressive but makes his seasonal reappearance on chase debut, as he ‘nails down’ a chase rating of 99 today. Lazhou also debuts over fences while Springboard beat Dearg Mor into third place to score over course-and-distance recently.
