FormscanBy Mark Nunan - ALICE JOHNSTON has been a bit unfortunate not to have won by now and can put that right on this occasion. She missed the last when a running-on third at Tipperary and had three of these rivals behind her when just failing to catch Bridge Native on the short run-in at Tramore last time. Up 4lbs for those two good efforts, she has strong claims here. Bective Cave (fourth) was odds-on for that Tramore contest but hasn’t been able to capitalise on a much lower chase mark thus far. Arch Melody won twice around here last year and his trainer was back amongst the winners recently. He’ll be a big danger to all if fully tuned up on his first outing since last October.
