FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Expensive point-to-point purchase BALLYDONAGH GIRL can get off the mark on her first start for new connections. Out of a winning hurdler, the selection landed just an ordinary maiden at Liscarroll last March but scored easily then and was subsequently purchased by top connections for 155,000 pounds. She should be ready for today’s reappearance. Jetson Jane represents an in-form yard and is a half-sister to a Grade 3 winner while Sassy River’s dam won in this sphere. Bride Of Arainn’s bumper-placed dam is a half-sister to high class Bellshill.
