FormscanBy Mark Nunan - BARNACULLIA won a maiden over course and distance last month before finishing a creditable fifth in the valuable Lartigue Hurdle at Listowel. He looks like a horse that will go a bit further in time but the ground will make this a test of stamina and Jordan Gainford’s 5lb claim is a big asset. Michael Mulvany also runs Ballinrobe heavy ground winner Buzz Light but he might need his first outing for five months. Faith Du Val won well at Sligo and dropping in trip will help after she weakened before falling over 2m4f at Listowel last time. Good World has won on his last two visits to this venue and has to come into calculations along with Cork maiden winner Dreamsrmadeofthis who was far from disgraced in a ‘winners of one’ contest when last in action at the Punchestown Festival.
