FormscanBy Mark Nunan - A winner over 2m4f at Limerick in May, CLONSHIRE RIVER was runner-up on his last two starts over that same trip at Kilbeggan. He usually races handily and dropping back in distance is unlikely to be too much of an issue for the Pour Moi gelding. In The Trenches has been expensive to follow but was only narrowly beaten on his last start over fences and has run well off a break before. A dual winner over 2m5f at Thurles in March, Spinning Web might find this trip too sharp but still merits respect while Metamorpheus has shown promise in both chase outings and could have more to offer. %0A
