FormscanBy Michael Graham - There was a lot to like about LEHAUNSTOWN's second place on handicap debut over a similar trip at this track. He wasn't foot perfect at the last, but kept on nicely and was clear of the remainder. Johnny Blue disappointed when favourite for a novice handicap hurdle at Leopardstown over Christmas, but could readily bounce back. Miss Mini Bee has improved on each of her three starts over flights culminating in a second place at this venue in January. Drusilla kept on for fourth at Naas which has earned her a shot at this longer trip. Hills Of Glory was just pipped in second at Naas, but this will be the slowest ground he has encountered.
