FormscanBy Alan Magee - PURSE PRICE was snapped up by current connections after winning a UK point-to-point last year and has been a model of consistency over hurdles. The Gordon Elliott-trained mare has been placed on her latest five starts and filled the runner-up spot on both recent outings behind Hands Of Gold. Cheek pieces are now fitted and this drop back in trip may suit. Fine Margin is a half-brother to Belfast Banter and appeared to show much improved form last time behind Riaan in a rated novice at Thurles. Volantis had Makaela’s Choice behind when fourth to the well-regarded Westport Cove in a bumper and was far from disgraced when switched to hurdles again at this venue last month. John W Creasy made a promising start in a valuable sales bumper here last Easter but has been soundly beaten on both point-to-point outings since.
