FormscanBy John O'Riordan - MISTER PINK sets a strong standard on the back of his debut second at Fairyhouse in February. The front three pulled well clear of the remainder and the third horse boosted the form when winning on his next start. Willie Mullins Beat Hollow gelding didn't enjoy the clearest of passages during the race so may well have been closer with a trouble free run. The locally trained Tomas O Maille is a consistent gelding who has been placed on his last three runs. While the six-year-old needs to improve further if he is to beat the Mullins horse, it would be a surprise if he isn't one of the main threats. Derek O'Connor is a significant booking on the unraced Peter Fahey trained gelding Soleil Couchant. Any market support for the son of Champs Elysees should be noted.
