FormscanBy Mark Nunan - YOUNG FITZY built upon a maiden victory at Tramore by staying on well to win on handicap debut at Galway. Declan Queally’s charge can overcome a 7lb higher mark and complete a hat-trick. Cullaghs Star had been consistent in maidens before making the breakthrough at Wexford and the placed horses have both won since. A 4lb rise could be lenient and the topweight looks a big player. Tuesday’s Limerick winner Lake Chad did little wrong when runner-up under his penalty at Thurles on Thursday. He’s again well-in compared to what his mark will be in future handicaps and has to come into calculations despite his busy workload this week.
