FormscanBy Michael Graham - REGINA DRACONES is very much at home on testing ground. The six-year-old mare's couple of hurdle victories came over similar trips to this and on testing ground. She arrives in form after winning her second start over fences in a beginners' chase in Clonmel at the start of the month. Exciting Oscar has won off an absence before (over hurdles) and will relish the trip and ground. There should be more to come from him over fences. Earths Furies has hit form this month and runs under a 5lb penalty for winning at this track on Sunday. This trip won't inconvenience Sean Says who got up by a nose over an extended 3m in Thurles before Christmas. However, that was on much better ground and, although she has form on winter ground, she may not want is as deep as this.
