FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Mayo National second Chavi Artist can make his presence felt here, for the in-form Tom Mullins team. The Doninga handler has booked son David for the spin, and let’s hope the Presenting gelding has better luck than when unseating last time in the Munster National at Limerick. You’ve got to think though, that the J P McManus team has a good handle on what’s required for this stamina test, as they field four of the eleven runners, including the returning top-weight Kitten Rock. It’s no easy ask for that ten-year-old, and for the green and gold too, Minella Till Dawn also reappears off a break. That leaves us with Minellafordollars and KONITHO. Despite his youth and lack of experience Konitho looks the one, with Mark Walsh up. The grey has track know-how after his effort here last time, and the step-up in trip might play to his strengths.
