FormscanBy Donal Murphy - Derek O'Connor partnered LENNON GROVE to finish fifth on her racecourse debut at Listowel and it's interesting that the legendary rider remains on board. In the care of O'Connor when successful in a point-to-point at Loughanmore in April, she since joined Gavin Cromwell and performed with credit in that aforementioned Listowel heat. Sent off favourite when beaten into second at Tipperary earlier this month, Garahon is an obvious danger, while Roscommon fourth Mc Swagger is another leading hope. Out of a half-sister to Conflated, Richwood is of definite interest, as are fellow debutants The First Turn, Of Land And Sea and Stone Cold. In truth, none of the newcomers will need to be anything out of the ordinary to take this moderate affair.
