FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Curragh trainer Aidan Howard must be delighted with how well his horses are running but equally frustrated that a lot of his charges have been hitting the crossbar. THEFAITHFULINDIAN, second in a big field at Punchestown last month, falls into that category but that was by far the best form shown in this sphere by the three-time Flat winner and she can go one better off a 3lb higher mark. Drumbaragh was a very easy winner at a big price at Down Royal last month and now faces a stiffer task having been raised 13lb. For one of her age, she hasn’t many miles on the clock and there might be more improvement in her. Kinnegad Lad had useful bumper form and was third in a Limerick handicap last summer. He had been off four months before his first run for Gordon Elliott at the same venue where he shaped as if this shorter trip might be more suitable.
