FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - ALLY CAY and Mars Harper meet again after their Downpatrick encounter sixteen days back. Ally Cay comprehensively got the better of the Gordon Elliott-trained market-leader on that occasion, and one would imagine that something similar could transpire again. On these terms it promises to be closer between the pair, but it’s not easy to go against a mare in form such as the selection. Digby finished behind Mars Harper at Down Royal in June. He’s since won at Sligo and is not to be taken lightly. Sit Down Lucy and Shane Fitzgerald were unfortunate when going their separate ways at the final flight at Ballinrobe last time. They look a big danger to all here.
