FormscanBy Donal Murphy - A very open contest and it's difficult to be overly confident about any of these. A three-time winner on the level, a chance is taken on HAPPY COMPANY. He had his last run over flights way back in September of 2020, finishing a good second to Blackjack Boy, with plenty of subsequent winners in behind. He failed to make an impact on his return to action at Limerick recently but can be expected to come on plenty for that effort. Gallic Boy has been disappointing since going down by just a neck at Roscommon last summer. He came in for plenty of market support at Tramore on his most recent start but again failed to make an impact. That was his first run in over six months, and he is entitled to improve for it. Danny Mullins is a positive jockey booking and a further ease in the ground is likely to help his cause. The versatile Darkened was successful on his penultimate start and has the ability to make his presence felt, while other leading contenders are Coole Arcade, Westy Fox (first time visor), Tuckmill and Where's Bunny.
