FormscanBy Tom Weekes - MAGHERALIN MICK was beaten by Desertmore House recently but can turn placings. A Sligo maiden hurdle in August, he while beaten four lengths by Desertmore House at Downpatrick, shaped as though he would improve for this extra distance and is 10lb better off. Point-to-point winner Desertmore House was probably unsuited by shorter distances when owner-ridden in bumpers and while he has plenty weight today, should also appreciate this longer distance. Toss Again was well held by a useful winner over course and distance in August, can progress further being a five year old and is suited by a sound surface. Alvaro was narrowly beaten here in August and having run well at Listowel, should be suited by stepping back up in distance. Champella won on hurdles debut recently (when a joint-leader fell at the last) but faces a stiffer test while Run For Patalso won an ordinary Listowel maiden hurdle and is officially 4lb wrong.
