FormscanBy Gary Carson - AN MARCACH has been running well in defeat of late and can get his turn now. Rachael Blackmore takes the mount now on the Milan gelding who has run solid races to finish third on his last four outings. He is only a pound higher than when behind Kristian Goingwel at Punchestown last time and deserves to get a first career success. Whoyakodding brings winning form into the race and should be competitive again after a 5lb rise for winning at Tramore on New Year's Day. Encore Lui is still relatively unexposed over fences and looks on a nice mark compared to his hurdles rating. He's one to note in the market.
