FormscanBy Alan Magee - JP McManus has three runners here and Mark Walsh has elected to ride BETTER TIMES AHEAD who took advantage of a lowly mark on his handicap debut at Naas last month. The Robert Tyner-trained gelding had shown promise in big field maidens at a number of the premier tracks and is taken to cope with a 10lb hike for that success. Marvel Fan won a novice handicap at Gowran back In November and went close to scoring over C%26D earlier this month. Vadaly won in France last year and has been highly tried in two outings for current connections, while Celestial Horizon and Only Sky both won maidens last time and like a number of these have scope for further improvement.
