Formscan By John O'Riordan - A winner of his last two starts, NUMIDIA(6) can complete the hat-trick here under Niamh Fahey. Despite having never scored off such a high mark previously, the Peter Lawlor-trained eight-year-old seems in the form of his life and is a tough, experienced handicapper who will relish this test. Lightly raced handicap debutant Forthill has to be respected. A four-year-old filly, the Paddy Twomey-trained representative would have every chance if reproducing her Curragh third from last November. Ms Messi won this race when it was run at Tipperary last season. Although absent since November, the Paul Flynn-trained mare shouldn't be ruled out on her reappearance.
