FormscanBy Michael Graham - MEHMAN had been off for almost a year before running more than creditably in Navan at the start of the month and can improve upon that. He kept on well to finish third of 20 on handicap debut over this trip, in a slightly higher grade, and the tongue-tie that was applied is retained for this task. He is running off 2lb lower which is a bonus as it allows him to get into the basement grade. He is by a sire whose progeny tend to go well on all-weather surfaces. My Joker has been placed three times at all-weather tracks in Britain and looks just the type to do well for Ado McGuinness in Ireland. Pillar and Seamie Heffernan teamed up to land a Fairyhouse handicap over 6f on Monday and reappear under the 7lb penalty. They overcame a tough draw in Fairyhouse and will have to do the same again, but that is feasible. First-reserve Inishmot Prince won twice over CD in February and March. He would be a big player if getting a run. Top-weight Tai Sing Yeh is more than capable of getting involved.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards rated 47-65Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
