FormscanBy Gary Carson - LANDRAKE was running a big race back at the minimum trip when tipping up three from home here in January. He had previously been a good winner over two-and-a-half at Fairyhouse and should be better suited by going up in trip here. The handicapper has him on a mark of 135 and that sets a fair standard. Paul Marvel is the unexposed horse in the field and has to rank as a danger. The Masked Marvel gelding looked a nice prospect when scoring on his debut at Limerick in late January. He faces a tougher task now though. Eye Van is a solid sort and ran well when third in novice company last time. He could be place material.
