FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - NEXT IN LINE could go well here on her handicap debut with first time blinkers tried. There was plenty of money about for the Excelebration filly last time at Sligo, but she proved to be a big disappointment. The three-year-old was never in the hunt when beaten nearly fourteen lengths, eighth of the nine behind Lilli Milena. This is a yard with an earned reputation for knowing the time of day, and Next In Line is surely better than she showed at Cleveragh. James Barrett is based in Goresbridge, so closer to home the selection is expected to run much better. Encouragingly with regard to stable form, Barrett had a winner with Red Pantz at Naas on Wednesday evening. Slieve Bearnagh and Divine Celt will be on all short lists.
