FormscanBy Tom Weekes - MOSALA has progressed well in his career thus far and steps up to this trip for the first time having run well in a Leopardstown handicap last month. MOSALA is 5lbs higher than at Leopardstown but has settled better in recent times, suggesting there may be some more improvement in him at this trip. Pineapple Express has improved in recent times and while she could well progress more returning to 1m4f, would be ideally suited to easy ground. Recent Cork handicap form is tested with Aesop (third), Vultan, (fourth), Still Standing (sixth) and Pin Your Hopes (eighth) while One Cool Poet, a three-time Galway festival winner in 2019, was well enough held at Limerick latest but has dropped 3lbs as a result. Lightly raced Brogue was well held by the winner at Listowel latest while Irish Poseidon has been a little disappointing hurdling recently and his best form has been on the all-weather at Dundalk.
