FormscanBy Donal Murphy - The Walsh yard in Doneraile County Cork is struggling to hit the bulls-eye at present, and that may put some off the chances of ROCHESTOWN. At a venue that provided them with many good days in past, there were tentative signs of a revival for the Walsh outfit at Limerick last week. They clearly mean business now with the booking of Darragh O'Keeffe for Rochestown, and a repeat of his second placing here in November might well be good enough. A 4lb hike in the weights makes it a little more difficult, and something like chase debutant Glorious Singer could provide stiff enough opposition getting a chunk of weight. Mahler Appeal and Greenway Machine are among the others that need considering.%0A
