FormscanBy Mark Nunan - OSKAR HIGH is on a roll and can complete a hat-trick of wins on the Western circuit. He beat Hello Pilgrim over a furlong further at Sligo last month and then accounted for Dedanann over 2m6f at Ballinrobe. He’s gone up 16lb in total for those two comfortable victories but is clearly in peak form and goes well for Gavin Brouder. Dedanann, who was a good fourth in a higher grade on his second run of the week at Listowel on Saturday, is 5lb better off with the selection on this occasion. That gives him a chance of turning around the placings but he is a very infrequent winner. Loudest Whisper won over 3m at Bellewstown in July and has run creditably over shorter trips since. She’ll enjoy the test of stamina and headgear is refitted. Sweet Street made the breakthrough in a mares’ maiden at Wexford and could be on a nice mark for her handicap bow, while Captain Mac had some good runs in maidens last year and is another handicap first-timer to consider.
