FormscanBy Mark Nunan - DEFINITEADARE has the hefty impost of twelve stone on his back but carried a similar weight when an emphatic winner last time at Listowel and may have another race in him. Tom Cooper’s horse has been consistent and progressive since sent handicapping in the spring and has only once been out of the first two in his last six races. A 9lb hike makes life harder but he looks sure to give a good account again. Cute Cherry ran quite well in a course and distance contest on handicap debut and the form of that race has been boosted since. She looks to be on a decent mark and is open to improvement. Everlastingpromise is thrown in on his chase mark but was well beaten when last tried over hurdles at Downpatrick during the summer and lacks a recent run. Harvey’s Quay and Ballinoe Biden are two that have shown promise in maidens and market moves should be noted as they step into handicap company.
