FormscanBy Mark Nunan - CROOKED PATH has had plenty of chances and couldn’t be described as progressive, but his mark of 112 sets the standard and he can put his experience to good use. The Waldgeist gelding ran another sound race when placed at Limerick last time and, after facing testing ground over the winter, might enjoy getting back on a better surface here. Not beaten far in a bumper on his first outing, Hey Now should improve from his hurdling debut at Clonmel and is bred to appreciate better ground. Despite jumping poorly, stoutly-bred Le Tatoue Madrik was third over 2m4f in February. He’s now tried in cheekpieces, but may still find this too sharp a test. %0A
