FormscanBy Gary Carson - Stepping up in trip now should suit three-time point-to-point winner WINNIE WOODNUTT. The Kalanisi mare won 'between the flags' at Borris House early last month and ran really well on her return to the racecourse when third at Naas just over three weeks ago. That was over two miles and going up to three now could bring improvement. Cafe Del Mar was well beaten when sixth at Tramore just five days ago but should appreciate the better going now and it would be no surprise if she got a lot closer. Hockworthy Flyer showed some decent form last season and could get involved on her return to action. The Yeats mare may appreciate stepping up in trip now.
