FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Darragh O'Keeffe gets a good tune out of MENINDEE and guided her to three victories last year including a long-distance hurdle at Sligo and a handicap chase on soft ground at this venue. David Christie's mare made a promising return to action after eight months off when second over an inadequate trip at Wexford and will be more at home back on a right-handed circuit. Hunting Brook won twice within a week in November and was in good form when last seen in May when his two runner-up finishes included a handicap hurdle over this trip at Tipperary. Housemartin returned to form at Sligo last month and this shorter trip may suit better while Hypersonic Missile has been consistent but wouldn't want the ground too testing.
