FormscanBy Tom Weekes - MOLLYS GLORY might ideally prefer further but returned to form in November. Listed bumper-placed in 2021, a reproduction of her Thurles win would give her every chance rated 113. Ah Fuhgeddaboutit is 3lb better off for a 6.25L beating in that Thurles race. She possibly out-ran her 102 rating in achieving third-place in a recent Clonmel maiden but makes a very quick reappearance on handicap debut. Whotookthebiscuit won a Clonmel maiden last month and while that form isn't exciting, is progressive. Mitiva has been frustrating in handicaps thus far and is tried in a first-time hood while Blenheim Belle has been running well in handicaps, with today's rider claiming 3lb. Ardera Ru has been running well in both codes while Bestaline, a French flat winner in 2022, was well held at Cork. Idol won a Roscommon bumper on debut for Willie Mullins in 2022 and while she has yet to show hurdling form, drops in grade rated 97 on handicap debut.
