FormscanBy Donal Murphy - This looks a good opportunity for HALF PAST TIPSY. The winner of a point-to-point when in the care of Sam Curling and subsequently bought by Gavin Cromwell for 200,000 pounds, she has been ultimately disappointing since. A runner-up at Wexford on St Patrick's Day, she was still travelling nicely in second when falling three out at Bellewstown on her most recent start. A half-brother to Grade 3 winner Santa Rossa, San Franco is the second choice. Set to fill the runner-up spot, he fell at the last on his sole previous effort over flights at Roscommon in August. Beaten by just three-quarters of a length on his penultimate start at Leopardstown, Following Orders is sure to have plenty of supporters, while others for the shortlist are Allo Al Khawaneej, Lady Bee Great and Music Of Life, with the latter a sister to Nick Rockett.
