FormscanBy Alan Magee - WHATCOULDHAVEBEEN gained a fourth career win (2 Flat/2 hurdles) when taking a 2m6f handicap hurdle by nearly ten lengths in first-time cheek pieces at Fairyhouse on Irish Grand National Day. The selection was subsequently far from disgraced behind Teahupoo in Grade 1 company at Punchestown and now reverts to the Flat off what appears a reasonable mark. Bold Approach held a career high rating of 99 and is proven over this trip in the past while Narlita won over 1m4f on heavy ground at Bellewstown last year and should progress from her reappearance at Sligo. Grann’s Boy and Mephisto both ran well in separate divisions of a 1m5f Navan handicap last Saturday, while Mighty Mo Missouri shaped well in a charity race at Punchestown.
