FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Mark Walsh is on Arverne of the J P McManus pair, and this French-bred youngster is interesting off a break, and up in trip. For a selection the horse at the other end of the handicap, top-weight, CHAVI ARTIST, gets the nod. From the in-form Tom Mullins stable, this Presenting gelding unseated his rider six out in the Munster National at Limerick on Sunday. Hopefully that won’t leave any mark, and his Mayo National second placing behind Doctor Duffy was a good effort. Deadheat couldn’t get to Rudy Catrail at Listowel. However, there was no disgrace in that, and the Wexford winner is a big player again.
