FormscanBy Mark Nunan - A very competitive line-up for the only handicap on the card and HUMM BABY gets the vote after a pleasing reappearance at Cork in July. She’s been waiting for better ground since then and all five of her career wins have come at this distance. Rhythm Divine has found the winning thread and is respected after showing a willing attitude to score at Bellewstown. The handicapper was fairly harsh with Quamino after his latest hurdles win at Roscommon and he may struggle here as a result, but the likely better ground will help Bentham and Sean Says is a progressive filly with a light weight. Conron has won three times at this venue and, even with topweight, another bold show would not surprise.
