FormscanBy Alan Magee - TRISHULI RIVER won twice over course and distance 12 months ago and has shaped well on both outings since returning to this venue. She had a couple of these rivals behind when third last time behind Voice Of Reason over 1m4f and is now fitted with cheek-pieces. Sinbad My Dad made all over 1m1f at Leopardstown this summer and having lost ground at the start on a number of occasions since, went close over course and distance last week. Convincing was only headed close home over a similar trip at Naas last month and it will be interesting to see how he handles this surface, while others for the shortlist include Ozark Daze and Cherry Pink.
