FormscanBy John O'Riordan - COWPER HALL can make the breakthrough on his second start for Gavin Cromwell. Well supported when sent off favourite on his stable debut at Thurles in March, the gelding was in front when making a mistake at the last. Losing momentum as a result, the five-year-old kept on to eventually finish third. Off the track since then, the son of Affinisea can make a winning seasonal reappearance. Also having just his second run for a new stable, the Gordon Elliott trained Truckers Cruising has to be a contender. Weakening late on to finish fifth at Navan on his debut for Elliott, the seven-year-old should be suited to dropping back in trip. Recent Bellewstown runner-up Farrokh is another that should be competitive.
