FormscanBy Mark Nunan - FAVORI LOGIQUE and 7lb claimer Shane O’Callaghan are a winning team and can get the four-timer up here. After a couple of wins over hurdles, the 6-year-old was far too strong for Father Jed at Ballinrobe last week and his mandatory penalty leaves him 10lb well-in compared to his mark in future handicaps. He’s up again in trip by a couple of furlongs but that is unlikely to be a problem. Warreedy was unfortunate to bump into the very well-handicapped Glenquin Castle on his last chase start at Roscommon and now looks on a nice mark himself with that winner having gone on to win twice since. He looks the main danger to the selection, while the locally-trained Nuttoridge goes over fences for the first time and was a good winner over hurdles at Downpatrick last month. Top Question ran well at Galway last week and has place claims along with Makeyourcall, whose first two runs this season were reasonably promising.%0A%0A
