FormscanBy Stuart Howden - Ma Belle Etoile looks better suited to the going than some and although she failed to build on a win over fences in July last year, a return to hurdles could suit. SHABOOZEE (5) won a pair of Ballinrobe handicaps last summer with ease before finishing fourth in a Listed handicap at Listowel and if she is ready to go on her first start of the year, she would prove difficult to beat at this level. Splashing Out ran too badly to be true when beaten 40 lengths at Galway and may be worth another chance.
