FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Although this race may well be a stepping stone to the Galway Hurdle, MY MATE MOZZIE should be good enough to win for the first time on the flat. A former Grade 3 winner over flights, the Gavin Cromwell trained gelding has some very smart handicap form under this code, namely a close second in the November Handicap and a third placing on Champions Weekend at Leopardstown. Given his rating of 92, it would be disappointing if he isn't able to win here en route to Ballybrit next month. Moon Over Claddagh shaped well when stepped up to this trip at Fairyhouse last time. The locally trained five-year-old catches the eye with Colin Keane booked to ride but he does face a stiff task against the likely favourite. Barnacullia showed promise at Roscommon last week but may do better once switched to handicaps.
