FormscanBy Donal Murphy - POWERFUL OUT might be able to get back on track here. An easy winner of a bumper at the venue in October, things haven’t really gone according to plan since. She was placed on two of her last three outings, finishing twelfth in a competitive handicap at the Galway Festival on her most recent start. In much calmer waters now, it’ll be disappointing if the Presenting bay is not involved towards the business end here. David O’Brien has an excellent record at Tramore and his Grinn is given second preference. A close fourth on her most recent start at Killarney, she will carry just ten stone three here with Mike O’Connor taking a valuable seven pounds off. I See The Moon is related to some smart sorts and she is of definite interest on her debut in handicap company. Cork winner Miss Arccol, Where's Bunny for Noel Dooly and Aunty Audrey in first time blinkers are other leading contenders.
