FormscanBy Michael Graham - TANGENTAL has bright prospects. It could be argued that he was somewhat unlucky to lose by a head in Thurles after he was less than fluent at the last and stumbled badly on the run-in before rallying. The winner has since scored again and Tangental was eight lengths clear of the third home. Furthermore, he won his previous staying handicap at Clonmel. Morrie In D Quarry has been placed in two of his last three handicap hurdles and is capable of landing more prize money. My Friend The Wind reverts to hurdles from fences and has better claims than most. Duffys Getaway is better than he showed in Down Royal. A tongue-strap is tried on him. Townhill Penny could have a say, but would prefer better ground. Elsannah could improve for a step up in trip.
