FormscanBy Michael Graham - A chance is taken on STICKTOTHESCRIPT in first-time blinkers. He caught the eye with a trio of fourth places in maiden hurdles that have thrown up winners, and there should be more to come from him. Glenrush Bay couldn't land a glove on an impressive winner of a Thurles maiden hurdle, but finished well clear of the remainder. His latest outing saw him finish a fair fourth in a rated novice hurdle at Cork in January. Laxxio didn't appear to stay when pulled up over an extended 2m4f in Gowran Park, but should be a factor back over this trip. Daisy Fingall took a step forward by posting a runner-up finish in Limerick, while Zuzukel is another eyeing prize money.
