FormscanBy Tom Weekes - DONNRUA DREAM was a 33/1 winner on handicap debut over CD during Christmas. Placed on bumper debut, he failed to figure in maiden hurdles and while raised 9lbs for last month's win, today's rider now claims 7lb and being a five year old, is open to more improvement. Earths Furies has been running well over fences in recent times and while his old hurdles form was unexciting, he reverts to the lower obstacles rated 11lbs less and should go well. Ask Blossomfort was fifth to the selection over Christmas and has some place claims. Owl Creek Bridge is rated 10lbs higher over fences than hurdles following last year's Punchestown win but has a long absence to overcome. Quarry Girl returned to form over fences at Cork recently and has place claims.
