FormscanBy Mark Nunan - CANFORD LIGHT was hampered at the start when a good fifth at Cork on Sunday and can go close here turning out again quickly. He’d also run well on handicap debut at Sligo and this trip should be fine for him. Lampetia came out on top in a messy race in a higher grade than this at Leopardstown, and is respected carrying a 6lbs penalty, while Pikaia ran well when fourth to subsequent winner Next In Line at Gowran. Celtic Crown was second over course and distance before winning at Ballinrobe (Brilliant Question behind in third) and her seventh at Galway came in a race that has worked out very well.
