FormscanBy Alan Magee - SOUNDS VICTORIUS was beaten a neck by Patter Merchant on debut in a small field bumper at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting. It is hard to quantify the merit of that form, but the odds-on winner had landed a Dromahane point-to-point and the pair finished a distance clear of the remainder. Patrick Mullins partners the son of Champs Elysees in preference to Inn At The Park who also made a promising start when third to the smart Jalon D’oudairies at Fairyhouse. Masterboy Davis, second on his only point-to-point start at Tattersalls Farm in December, is another to note from powerful connections while A Tipp For Gold stepped forward from his debut when third here before Christmas.
