FormscanBy Gary Carson - Not the strongest looking contest THE TOOTHPICKER may be able to make the breakthrough after some solid runs. The Arctic Cosmos had a lengthy spell on the sidelines before making his return at Gowran in October and ran a big race there to finish fourth. He was unlucky to stumble and fall at Wexford subsequently before another solid effort when fifth at Cork last time. A similar show should see him go close. Mary’s Pride ran well on his penultimate outing at Fairyhouse and would be a big player on that form. The lightly weighted Esticky End ran a solid race on his last outing over timber and is another to consider.
