FormscanBy Shane Redmond - It is hard to look beyond WITCHES FAMILIAR (5). An easy winner of her maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe in May, she followed up in similar style when beating this afternoon's rival Mino Des Mottes in a novice hurdle at the Galway Festival. A repeat of that effort should see her home in front. Perhaps Switch From Diesel will be the danger this time, she scored back-to-back wins over hurdles at Punchestown before running well on the Flat when third to Deressa and Royal Hollow in a fillies' handicap at Ballinrobe at the end of June.
