FormscanBy Michael Graham - FACETHEPUCKOUT is down to an appealing mark and has each-way claims for Leanne Breen and Kevin Manning. He was slowly away in Gowran Park but put in a decent shift thereafter for third place. That was off 64 and the handicapper has dropped him by 1lb. He won a couple of years ago off 71 so looks to be on a mark he can do damage off. Clear Quartz is another horse on a handy mark and ran well for a long way in third over further at Gowran Park. Dutch Schaefer is in a rich vein of form and is gunning for a hat-trick. Both front-running victories came by less than a length and she is up 8lbs. Nevertheless, she has a lovely low draw to go forward from again. Ask Delaney was a wide-margin winner over this trip in Limerick. Afterwards, his trainer commented that he was going well at home. The handicapper has dished out 12lbs, however, Jake Coen has been booked to offset 7lbs of the rise. If the five-year-old gelding is in the same humour, he will take plenty of beating.
