FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Jake Coen is going to be in great demand in the coming months with his 7lb claim and the teenager might get another winner on the board here with WALNUT BEACH. Pat Flynn’s charge improved in first-time blinkers when second off this mark at Tramore and again ran well at Thurles last time. Those two runs came on a soft surface and he should go well under his in-form rider. Bellewstown winner Angel In The Sky went down by just a neck when trying to follow up at the Curragh and this tough sort has claims again despite a 4lb hike. Tony Martin’s horses are running well and Sil Ver Klass, who did well on the Flat this time last year, has Colin Keane’s assistance and has a reasonable record when fresh. Pikaia has yet to get her in front but has plenty of placed form on deep ground and is unlikely to be far away.
