FormscanBy Michael Graham - SAVEFORARAINYDAY impressed with a wide-margin success in a mares' maiden hurdle at Limerick in February. The form of her fourth place in a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown over Christmas has been very well franked, so she has a sporting chance of giving weight away in this novice handicap hurdle. Anna McGuinness claims 7lb on Arslan who therefore receives 10lb from Saveforarainyday. The pair teamed up well when Arslan was a clear-cut winner at Thurles for Willie Mullins. Radiator Springs has form behind top-class mares Oldschool Outlaw and Bambino Fever when third at Naas, and built upon that when delivering at Clonmel in January. Mullins also saddles Lincoln Du Seuil who was keen in third at Fairyhouse and a tongue-strap is fitted.
