FormscanBy Tom Weekes - STICWITHTHEPROCESS has been running well and is suited by conditions. The selection’s initial form was ordinary but last season showed progression in handicaps and scored at today’s venue in November. He was well enough held in third-place at Punchestown on his latest start but drops to novice company today and competes from that same 114 rating. Coyote Spirit ran well on handicap debut at Leopardstown over Christmas and while likely to run well, is 1lb higher and is without his previous rider’s 7lb claim today. Heron’s Butler’s form is on a sound surface while Welluknow might be suited by reverting back to today’s easier ground.
