FormscanBy Mark Nunan - A smart juvenile hurdler two years ago, STORM HEART clearly hasn’t been the easiest to train since then but has the ability to gain a first win in graded company. A fine second in a valuable handicap at last year’s DRF, the six-year-old looked a bit ring-rusty when winning a small-field contest at Limerick over Christmas. He’s likely to come forward from that and dropping back from 2m4f shouldn’t be a problem on ground he handles well. Stablemate Kawamboonga’s maiden form couldn’t read much better but he hasn’t been seen for over a year. Farren Glory had both Workahead and Kel Histoire behind when third at Naas, where all three horses were making their seasonal debuts. %0A
