FormscanBy John O'Riordan - A winner on her debut at Cork last month, the Ross O'Sullivan-trained HILLY FILLY(3) can follow up. A half-sister to a black type horse, the four-year-old did well to score at the first attempt, having been hampered and forced wide turning into the straight. Entitled to have come on from the experience, she could easily prove a bit better than the bare form of that race. Point-to-point winner Missouri Snow made a winning racecourse debut in a Sligo bumper earlier this month. The Nigel Slevin-trained mare is clearly a smart type and has to be respected. Wexford runner-up Bredas Pearl receives weight from the previous winners so has to enter calculations.
