FormscanBy Tom Weekes - BELLE THE TIGRESS has shown nice ability and looks capable of further progression. She showed promise on debut in November and given the way she finished so well at Naas last month, can be counted upon to again run well and might also improve. Kish Bank easily won his point-to-point before landing a bumper in December 2023 but was absent for 319 days prior to returning at Galway in October. He disappointed then and while capable of better, nonetheless returns following another layoff. Coral River also showed good bumper form, finishing second at the Punchestown festival, and while he dropped away tamely on hurdling debut last month, that was his first run for 72 days and should improve.
