FormscanBy Alan Magee - AMOR VERDADERO won a Bellewstown maiden last summer and ran a cracker following a 12-month absence when beating all bar Arthur’s Baby also over this trip at the Listowel Festival. The selection subsequently made no impact on her debut over fences at Roscommon but perhaps it’s best to forgive that run. Lucky Phil won a Gowran handicap last autumn and now reverts to hurdles having shown promise on a number of occasions on the Flat. Dinard Rose is another dual-purpose performer and hails from a stable in great form, while point-to-point winner Karen’s Gift made a winning start over hurdles at Roscommon and may appreciate this extra half-mile after filling the runner-up spot in a Tipperary handicap. Moll Dote and Quarry Lil are others to consider in a competitive event.
