FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Progressive SEQUESTERED bumped into a smart subsequent Listed winner at Listowel in September. He previously contested a hot course bumper in August – from which the third, fourth, sixth, eighth and 12th have all won subsequently and at Listowel last month, had useful Reverend Hubert behind in third. Stuzzikini is dependable and in-form but would prefer farther and might also prefer a sounder surface. Mint Boy won on testing ground at Gowran but steps up in grade while Free Flowing capitalised on some poor jumping from the odds-on runner-up when winning here recently but is proven on testing ground. Moon D'orange and Zolpharine were well held at Cork while Walhaan runs in a first-time tongue-tie and visor.
