FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Trained by the Delanys who are so closely associated with racing at Bellewstown, ACCUSTOMED (16) makes some appeal off bottom weight. The Shirocco gelding went close to a first win at Down Royal in March, when fitted with cheekpieces for the first time, and ran respectably without those aids when trying 3m for the first time at Punchestown last month. The headgear goes back on now. Jisco Du Brem is up 7lb for his victory at Ballinrobe where his jockey reported that he didn’t enjoy racing downhill, so the descent early in the straight here may not be ideal. Burning Ability won a 2m4f maiden at Listowel and might be on a fair mark for his first handicap. %0A
