FormscanBy Dan McEvoy - Alex Harvey can continue his strong recent run of form on board the forward going JACKSON LAMB. The son of El Salvador was run down late on in Downpatrick on his last start, but on this more forgiving track and with this drop back to two and a half miles, he can manage to last home and compensate connections for that near miss. John McConnell’s charge has also proven his suitability to the course when runner up behind a creditable performer in a bumper here. Ellis Mor showed marked improvement on his second start for Willie Mullins when second in a similar contest, but he has since changed yards again. If he can reproduce that form, the workforce gelding should have every chance under Keith Donoghue. Twentyfourcarrot and The Man’s Room are relatively closely matched but the former is taken to complete the frame.
