FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Philip Rothwell enjoyed a double at Gowran on Friday and has prospects here with UNION PARK. A hurdles winner at Ballinrobe last year, he was fourth in his first two handicaps over fences and the form of his latest sixth at Killarney in August has been boosted lately. The third and fourth in that race both hit the target at the Listowel festival and the six-year-old may be able to continue his trainer’s profitable spell. I’ll Be That Lady was in fine fettle earlier in the summer with two seconds and a comfortable win at this venue. That was over 2m1f but she has form over further as well and may be suited by stepping back up in trip after her latest third at Wexford. Search For A Myth has been runner-up three times in handicap hurdles and has twice gone down by less than a length. Much will depend on how she fares on her intended chase debut at Killarney on Sunday.
