FormscanBy Mark Nunan - ELITE TROOPER GREY finished off well when third over course and distance a fortnight ago and should go well off the same mark. He won over further on handicap debut at Cork and has taken well to hurdles. As a son of Fast Company, testing ground won’t be a problem and he can reverse form with Above The City who was just in front of him last time in the race won by Youngnedofthehill. Big King could be on a decent mark having run respectably behind Greatwood winner The Shunter last time and he handled soft ground when a good second to a useful sort the time before at Bellewstown. He looks a major player. Trixie Mc ran well when second to a well-handicapped rival last time and has Rachael Blackmore’s assistance off a handy weight, while Get Crackin and Djasek are two to keep an eye on having shown some potential in maidens.
