FormscanBy Donal Murphy - The 111 rated Run For Pat is likely to be popular with punters, but it might be worth siding with David Christie's SHOLSANG, who makes his debut over flights. A half-brother to Competitive Edge, who was a smart performer for Conor O'Dwyer, the six-year-old gelding ran a cracker to finish second in a beginners chase over the course and distance on his most recent start. He had Grade 3 winner Turnpike Trip a place behind him there, and if he can transfer that form to the smaller obstacles, he should prove hard to beat. The aforementioned Run For Pat has some solid form to his name and drops back in trip after finishing second over three miles on his most recent start. Kelly's Birr was a promising fourth at Limerick last week and has definite each-way claims, while others for the shortlist in the weak contest are Bout Time Bobby, Ask Philip and Sixhandsinmypocket.
