FormscanBy John O'Riordan - SLIEVE BEARNAGH can record a first win since joining trainer David Marnane. Narrowly denied at Limerick on his second start for the Bansha man, the eight-year-old ran another solid race when third at Tipperary recently. Well handicapped relative to his hurdle rating, the Zoffany gelding looks to have leading claims in what looks a weak race, despite the large number of runners. Arcland has to enter calculations on his second outing for Gavin Cromwell. The nine-year-old has run well at this venue in previous visits, while the trip looks to be his optimum. Bright Start, who finished third over course and distance last time, is also worthy of consideration under Nicola Burns.
