FormscanBy Donal Murphy - A weak affair, with Eoin McCarthy again well-represented. The Limerick handler saddles BALLINOE BLAZE and Tropical Image, with the 94-rated former the selection. Tried in first time cheekpieces, the Affinisea five-year-old has some good efforts to his name and was a solid fourth in a stronger contest over the course and distance on his latest start. Gaoithe Glory and Boola Times are the most interesting of the six handicap debutants in the line-up. The Eric McNamara-trained former was second on debut in a bumper at Listowel last September, while the four-year-old latter was a solid fifth at Roscommon on his latest try over flights. Mother Ship (first time cheekpieces), Close Enough, Cullagh Pride and Jaadil are others for the shortlist.
