FormscanBy Mark Nunan - MISTYBURN was a remote second at Ballinrobe in September, but if Philip Rothwell’s charge could get the back to the form of his Galway festival third the previous month, he would take a bit of beating. The Policy Maker gelding stays well and likes good ground. Nine-year-old Schiehallion recorded a first success when winning readily over 3m at Downpatrick. He seems to have improved for the fitting of a visor and, despite an 8lb higher mark can contend again. Ceroc comes here in good form, but his propensity to jump left was in evidence again at Clonmel and is a concern around here. Urbs Intacta Manet showed a first glimpse of winning potential when a close third at Killarney. %0A%0A%0A
