FormscanBy Donal Murphy - HMS SEAHORSE bounced back to form when successful in first time blinkers at Clonmel last month. This race was earmarked by Paul Nolan in the aftermath of that Powerstown Park success, and it'll be interesting to see how the son of Galileo fares on his initial try over fences. Disappointing since completing a hat-trick in the UK last season, the Willie Mullins-trained Fine Margin warrants the utmost respect on his return from a break. A respectable 13th of 26 in the Coral Cup, Al Gasparo will need to bounce back from a below par effort at Ballinrobe if he is to feature. Gordon Elliott saddles both Harsh and Gers Gigi, with Jack Kennedy set to partner the 130-rated former. Placed on two of his last three starts, the five-year-old grey should be able to make his presence felt.
