FormscanBy Mark Nunan - SHOWMOLINA made the breakthrough over course and distance last month after being an eyecatcher several times over the last twelve months. He again ran well to make the frame in a big-field handicap at Cork and seems to be breaking much better from stalls which had been a problem for him in the past. His rider may have to navigate his way across the track from stall one depending on how soft the ground turns out to be. We’re On The Way, placed at Navan in April and fifth to the selection here last time, is drawn on the stands’ side which could be a big plus and he’s now fitted with a tongue-tie. Florence Thompson is a bit of a ‘cliff’ horse in that she travels well but finds little off the bridle. She has lots of good placed efforts to her name and was in front of the selection when runner-up at Cork. A winner at this meeting three years ago, Coffeemeanscoffee ran well to be third in that Cork contest and is another to consider.
