FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - It’s interesting to note that Petrol Head has an engagement at Thurles on Thursday as well, and the layers are unlikely to be taking any chances with this Valirann youngster. He has his second start for the Ronan McNally yard here, and if the market indicates a strong fancy you wouldn’t be looking anywhere else other than to the handicap first-timer. Unappealing form figures and current stable form will dissuade some, but really movements in the betting ought to reveal all. At this juncture KILGOREY is put forward as a tentative each-way selection though. Cheek-pieces are dispensed with and a visor is now tried on Yvonne Dunleavy’s charge. The change of head-gear could make all the difference. Elsewhere and many need considering, including last-time out winner, Robyndeglory, Gavin Cromwell’s pair, Shantou Lucky and Different Beat, and course and distance winner, The Chapel Field.
