FormscanBy Gary Carson - LOUGH NIGARA has been knocking on the door and may be able to gain a deserved success here. The Eoin Griffin-trained gelding has been placed on his last three outings and ran well in testing conditions when chasing home Kingkong Ciergues at Fairyhouse last time. He is capable of scoring now despite a 3lb rise. Pebble Bleu was a game winner at Tramore a fortnight ago and runs off a 4lb higher mark. She looks like an obvious danger. Sallap looked like she might follow up at Thurles on her last outing before falling at the last. Off just a 2lb higher mark she’s another for the shortlist.
