FormscanBy Gary Carson - ECHOES OF FAMILY gained some valuable black-type on her last visit to the track and may be able to get a win to add to her pedigree now. She was obviously flattered to finish second in Grade 2 company behind Envoi Allen but it was a rich reward for her connections taking a punt. The 10-year-old has some solid placed form in handicaps and was third last time at Tramore. She is good enough to land a race of this standard. Three Loud Knocks has some decent hunter chase form and was a good second to Ask D Man at Clonmel last time. Off a mark of 89 he should be capable of making an impression. Enduring Love wasn't beaten far at Navan last time and could go close again after just a 3lb rise. Obviously the race complexion changes completely if second reserve Routine Excellence gets a run.
