FormscanBy Michael Graham - Handicap-debutant Tomas O Maille would have a major chance on slower ground, after giving best in third in the closing stages of a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle, but there is precious little rain in the forecast. COZONE is taken to cope with the drop in trip that he encounters here. He wasn't beaten far into second at Downpatrick and into third in Sligo which gives him stronger claims than most. As he is well versed over further, he ought to be finishing well up the stiff hill in Galway now that he has hit form. Realism was third in a Group 3 on good ground on the Flat. He hasn't been placed in five outings over hurdles, but did perform better in fifth in Down Royal at the start of the month.
