FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Runner-up at Thurles in November, STILY can get his head in front for the first time. Trained locally by Michael McDonagh, the six-year-old remains a maiden after 14 starts but had been in decent form before Christmas. Placed on his final three outings last year, the gelding should have every chance here if ready after that extended break. A winner over hurdles on her penultimate start, Ellies Rock is interesting on her chasing debut. Only fifth at Tramore last time, the eight-year-old should appreciate dropping back in trip here. Successful here over flights, Donnrua Dream is another that has leading claims in a competitive affair.
