FormscanBy Alan Magee - KARLA MARTINA was placed twice in maiden hurdles here last spring and comes here on the back of finishing third in a Kilbeggan handicap last month. The Norman Lee-trained mare remains on a mark of 94 to just stay within this handicap band and 7lb claimer Robbie Geoghegan retains the ride. Glenabo Bridge has been in good form this year winning over 2m4f at Down Royal and subsequently filled the runner-up spot at this venue. The veteran top-weight appears best with some cut in the ground. Force Of Forces was third over a slightly shorter trip here earlier this month, while Lady L’lerom stays well having beaten all bar Bonne Debut over three miles at Punchestown recently.
