FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Her half-sister Wearapinkribbon got off the mark over hurdles at Tramore last week and BERET ROUGE can do likewise if a bit sharper with her jumping. The impressive Roscommon bumper winner made mistakes in the closing stages when second to Felicidad at Listowel, but can put that experience to good use here as she drops half a mile in trip. A former stablemate of the selection, Botani is clearly a big danger with her rating of 125. She followed a good run in a hot maiden hurdle at Leopardstown last Christmas with a creditable fourth behind the useful Ard Abhainn in a Listed event over course and distance in January. Making her first appearance since then, she might just be vulnerable to a race-fit rival. Trevena has plenty of creditable placed form over hurdles and starts off for another new trainer (her fourth already) with Rachael Blackmore riding her for the first time. %0A%0A
