FormscanBy Tom Weekes - CINAMMON COCO tried this distance for the first time when running well at Roscommon last month and remains open to further progression. He initially raced over shorter distances but, having run well over 1m1f at Ballinrobe in early May, benefitted further from stepping up to this distance at Roscommon, in a race which is working out well. A three-year-old, he is 1lb wrong at the weights but has an experienced apprentice on board. Same-aged Jr Mahon is 3lb out of the handicap and he ran well on handicap debut at Limerick recently. Pillar Of Hope’s rating has dropped markedly from 79 last June and while slowly away before finishing well at Leopardstown last time, tries this distance for the first time. Barrogstown Girl, Fortuna Vera and Party Dress have recent form while Bruant scored over hurdles 12 days ago.
