FormscanBy Michael Graham - VILLAGE DREAM (7) made up plenty of ground to be a never nearer fifth on debut for Willie Mullins in a ladies' bumper at Killarney and improvement should be forthcoming with that experience banked. John McConnell won this race last year and has prospects with new recruit Myluckymaker. This Policy Maker mare was beaten eight lengths into second on her final start for Adrian Murray and the winner has gone in again at Listowel. Winnie McGoogan is a newcomer that could have a shot at prize money, while Pamelaisbrass was much closer in sixth at Sligo and could build upon that.
