FormscanBy Alan Magee - JOURNEY WITH ME looked an above average sort when readily landing a four-year-old maiden for Michael Murphy at Ballindenisk last November. Henry de Bromhead has won this race for the past two years including with Bob Olinger 12 months ago, and the half-brother to three winners including the useful Yorkist could add to the Knockeen trainer’s tally. Chato Santana filled the runner-up spot behind Dom Of Mary at Moig South just before Christmas and the winner showed that form in a good light when following up in a Fairyhouse bumper last month. Dom Of Mary’s trainer Sam Curling is represented by Galudon who was soundly beaten on his only point start but has the assistance of Derek O’Connor.
