FormscanBy Michael Graham - James O’Sullivan rode a lovely patient race on BITVIEW COLIN at Listowel and similar tactics could reap a reward here. The pair made good headway before the penultimate fence and asserted on the run-in to score by the guts of five lengths. Weihnachts found the long uphill run-in tough in Galway when finishing 14 lengths behind the winner on seasonal reappearance. He had a subsequent winner behind him, though, and wasn’t beaten far into third at Wexford in March so he is respected. Roachdale House won a novice handicap chase in Sligo but wouldn’t welcome rain. Whatsinthecorner has two chase victories in his career but again would prefer dry weather.
