FormscanBy Michael Graham - SPRINGS STEEN finished well to be a close third on debut in a Navan bumper and, with that experience banked, ought to improve from the run. He is a nicely-bred sort who is a half-brother to a double Grade 2 winner over fences. Think It Through is a full-sister to a Grade 2 novice hurdle winner and should be given a market check. She was an easy winner of a point-to-point in February last year and has switched to Emmet Mullins for her racecourse career. Burning Ability was caught in the closing stages when runner-up at Galway, but encounters much-slower ground now. Lennon Grove and Of Land And Sea are others to consider.
