FormscanBy Alan Magee - Zeeband makes a quick reappearance after beating all bar Dancing Jeremy at Fairyhouse on Wednesday and should go close if none the worse for those exertions. However, this will be the Flat-bred gelding’s third run on testing ground in just over two weeks and GRACE FARADAY gets slight preference. She made a creditable start in handicaps when upped to 2m5f at the Limerick Christmas meeting and the form of that race has been working out with the runner-up going one better and the third also running well next time. Padraigs Boy held every chance when falling on his handicap debut at Cork last time, while Aodhan May won a 3m1f handicap chase at Wexford last spring and probably ran better than her finishing position would suggest at Fairyhouse last month. Stockdale and Clear The Clouds are others to consider.
