FormscanBy Gary Carson - This looks like a nice opportunity for LITTLE MIXUP to bag another win after his convincing success at Naas just under two weeks ago. The Shirocco gelding pulled away in good style then to score by five lengths, despite a big drift in the market. Mark McDonagh takes a couple of pounds off his back now in this opportunity event. A couple down towards the bottom may prove the dangers. Future Proof ran well at a big price when third to Port Rashid at Thurles last time and has slipped to a nice mark. Astrophysicist also ran well when third over in Hereford last month and looks another obvious one for the shortlist.
