FormscanBy Alan Magee - SPY has been in good form over hurdles this year winning a valuable Killarney handicap and was also placed on the Flat at Thurles last month in a race that has thrown up a couple of subsequent winners. Sarmiento Power took advantage of a lowly mark when landing a gamble over course and distance in September and was a creditable second to Cherry Pink over an extended 1m2f here last month. The Matt Smith-trained gelding may reverse those placings over this distance. Benavente won over course and distance this autumn and was claimed out of Kevin Coleman’s yard after filling the runner-up spot here last month with Satono Chevalier close up in third.
