FormscanBy Michael Graham - Marine Tycoon was a market mover on debut in Downpatrick, but unseated in the early stages so it will be interesting to see if the support arrives again. Gavin Cromwell's FIVEANDAHALF (13) has plenty in his favour on his return to action. He ran on strongly for fourth on debut in a Limerick maiden hurdle in March and the three horses in front of him have all delivered since then. He then reverted to a bumper at Ballinrobe in May and showed good resolution to score by the minimum margin. Apache Peak wasn't beaten far into third in a Listed bumper at Limerick and has to come under consideration on hurdle bow, while Thinkitdontjinxit and Silken Thomas are others with claims.

A hurdle for four years old and upwards, maidens at starting
Weights - 4-y-o 11st 11lbs 5-y-o and up 11st 12lbs. Mares allowed 7lbs.
