FormscanBy Donal Murphy - Four from five at the venue, GOOD AS HELL is the suggestion in this competitive affair. While failing to make an impact in recent starts, the Philip Fenton-trained 10-year-old clearly thrives at this Limerick Junction circuit, and it'll come as no surprise if she enhances her already impressive record. Fenton also saddles top-weight Linden Arden, with this one a definite player after winning on two of his last four starts. Pulled up when sent off a well-backed favourite at Gowran in March, One Last Tango reportedly 'lost his action'. Knocking on the door prior to that disappointment, he should be able to bounce back now. A final fence faller when still in with every chance at Punchestown in November, Macinamillon is of interest, while Tramore winner Clarens and dual course victor Jack Holiday are others of note.
