FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Second at Ballinrobe last month, MARY'S PRIDE can go one place better. Staying on late to claim minor honours at the western track, the Edward Cawley-trained gelding gave the impression that this step up in trip could see him regain the winning thread. A three-time winner on the Flat when trained in Britain, Cock and Bull is one to note in the market. Sure to be suited by this longer distance, the Make Believe gelding has the services of one of the better pilots in this race. Any positive move should certainly be taken on board. Lakewood Rose should again run her usual solid race for owner/trainer/jockey Niamh Hennessy.
