FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Owners Kenny and Laura Haughey and Kieran Byrne saw a very promising youngster of theirs win at the first time of asking when Three Stripe Life impressed in a Navan bumper last month. They begin with another Gordon Elliott horse here, Gad Maker, and it’ll be no surprise to see the Saddler Maker gelding show up well under Keith Donoghue. However Cullentra House Stables look better equipped to take the main prize with FOLCANO in the hands of Jack Kennedy. There’s little doubt that this Falco gelding should have been awarded a Navan contest last time, when interfered with by winner Brazos. Only a nose split them then and hopefully the selection enjoys a bit of better luck on this occasion. Others to take into account are Lucky Tenner, Buck’s Billionaire and Carrig Rock.
