FormscanBy Mark Nunan - NA CAITH TOBAC was supported at fancy prices when winning on handicap debut at Tipperary and can follow up over a furlong further. His trainer is hopeful that the Elzaam gelding will improve again on softer ground (good ground at Tipperary). Dual winner Ally Cay was a good second on her latest Flat run at Roscommon and a recent hurdles outing might have sparked her up a bit more, while John Oxx has enjoyed some recent success and Colin Keane is an interesting booking for handicap debutante Secret Sea. Ben Alexander travels well in his races but his stamina is suspect over this distance, while Vita Veritas won on her penultimate start at Killarney and has a leading apprentice aboard.
