FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - After missing out more than once, Nomanbehind is finally due to make his debut for Gavin Cromwell now. It’ll be interesting to track his movements in the market and he could be a factor. Ballymac Boy lost out narrowly at this venue eighteen days back. The Scorpion gelding is back in trip now and off a four pound higher mark. He’s due to run in a handicap chase at Kilbeggan on Friday evening so a close eye on that is required. Course winning hurdler Slainte And Thanks has a chance of following up despite her top-weight burden. At the other end of the handicap an each-way play on MR BOLT mightn’t be the worst idea. Prolific in the point-to-point fields in his time, the selection is now a fifteen-year-old. However he has run well fresh in the past, and the yard had a winner when Walkers Point struck at 50/1 at Downpatrick on Wednesday.
