FormscanBy Alan Magee - NETTUNO ITALIA opened his account over a similar trip here last month and may follow up with Danny Gilligan again booked. The Ross O’Sullivan-trained gelding handled testing ground well when stretching clear in the closing stages to beat Aine’s Lad and that form has been advertised since. Kir won over 3m at Limerick in October and is weighted to confirm places with From The Ashes (won since) on running at the same venue after Christmas. Gorvitho and Drop A Threat both step up in trip on handicap debut after being soundly beaten behind stablemate King Of Aces at Clonmel, while West Of Bally and Sean Mc are others to consider.
