FormscanBy Gary Carson - There could be more to come from the lightly raced POURQUOI POI. He was a winner at Punchestown last October and ran a solid race when fifth off this mark when last seen at Thurles the following month. His win came on nice ground so he may prefer this sounder surface. Euro Maker ran well at a big price when chasing home Houndsworth at Cork earlier this month. That was a significant improvement on previous form and if he can repeat it he’ll be a big player. The Dancen Kid ran well when placed on his penultimate outing and wasn’t disgraced in Wexford last time. He’s another for the shortlist.
