FormscanBy Alan Magee - SUPRISE PACKAGE provided connections with a good pay-day when scoring at the Punchestown Festival last spring and he looks fairly treated dropping back in trip after appearing to run out of stamina over 2m4f at Navan last Saturday. The selection travelled beautifully into that Grade B Handicap but the combination of a mistake at the last and the stiff uphill finish just found him out. Sea Ducor has been very lightly-raced since second to Master McShee in this race 12 months ago but remains of great interest and is surely well enough handicapped to take a good prize. Fastorslow is another that fits into the ‘dark horse’ category, while Crowns Major and Cotteemcavennigoal are others for the shortlist.
