FormscanBy Gary Carson - BLENHEIM BELLE ran well in a competitive event at Punchestown last time and looks capable of winning again off her current mark. The Churchill mare stayed on into third behind the in-form Hunting Brook then and off just a couple of pounds higher she should be capable of another big show. Butty O Brien was a game winner at Navan three weeks ago and could be a danger off just a 4lb higher mark. Crafty Gael was knocking on the door during the summer but this testing ground would be a slight concern.
