FormscanBy Michael Graham - BITOFAJOKELIKE kept a 1/7 favourite more than honest when second under Jake Coen in a maiden hurdle at Cork last month. If he can build upon that, he ought to be heavily involved in the distribution of prize money. The 116-rated Mashalla Habibi was well backed to oblige in Limerick, but found the winner three lengths too good. He's up in trip and has shown enough to suggest he could pick up a maiden hurdle. This staying assignment could spark more from Henry de Bromhead's Kir, while the Gordon Elliott pair of Lacaduv and William Butler can have a say in proceedings. Treasure Memory was a fair second in a point-to-point at Oldtown and isn't without hope on 'track' debut.
