FormscanBy John O'Riordan - BARROGSTOWN GIRL has strong claims here with regular pilot Neve Bennett in the saddle. Having gained all three previous career wins under the English-born rider, the Jarlath Fahey-trained mare clearly runs well for her. Despite those successes coming over 10-furlongs, the daughter of Elusive Pimpernel has shaped well enough over this trip of late to suggest she has the necessary stamina. Recent Leopardstown runner-up Louiescall also boasts leading claims under Hannah Phillips. Although yet to get his head in front, the David Harry Kelly-trained gelding has been getting closer. Locally trained Slieve Bearnagh also has every chance for the David Marnane yard.
