FormscanBy Mark Nunan - HOPHORNBEAM had placed form at this track for her previous trainer and is on a roll now for Gordon Elliott. The seven-year-old by Yeats has recorded comfortable victories at Clonmel and Cartmel and can complete the hat-trick here. Listowel maiden winner Mind Your Money was second to a stablemate of the selection in a novice contest at Wexford for which the handicapper raised her 3lb. She’s going the right way and should run well. Some Dove beat a subsequent handicap winner easily in a Kilbeggan maiden and merits consideration along with Wild Caprice who has shown improved form over longer trips on her first two starts for John Ryan.
