FormscanBy Mark Nunan - SOCIAL DISTANCE has been a consistent handicapper this year and Scott McCullagh’s claim might enable her to gain a third win. She wasn’t far behind Sanosuke and Right Turn when fifth at Killarney in July and put in another solid display when fourth over further at Galway last time. Her first victory of the campaign came over this distance at Roscommon. Sanosuke was runner-up in first-time cheekpieces over 10f at Naas earlier this month and going back up in trip might suit him, while Right Turn was second in two handicaps before his fourth place finish at Killarney and the topweight is a big player with a tongue-tie and cheekpieces combination being tried. Many Words indicated ability when a staying-on fourth at Cork having met interference, and the well-bred Tropical Cyclone starts off for new connections having been runner-up on her last three runs for Mark Johnston.
