FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Eoin McCarthy finished with a best-ever tally of ten winners in the season just finished and ELITE DES MOTTES could get him off the mark for the new campaign. She showed ability for the first time when third in a maiden at Limerick and, with the fourth on that occasion having been placed in a better maiden since then, an opening mark of 89 looks fair. Master Cornwall looks a danger having made a good start in handicaps when finishing third at Tramore, while Vischio, who has been runner-up four times on the Flat, will enjoy the switch to better ground and is, like the selection, a handicap debutante to consider. A Galway Festival winner on the level, the topweight Darkened hasn’t shown much in this sphere yet but couldn’t be ruled out in this company.
