FormscanBy Donal Murphy - BREAKEVEN might be able to take this on his first try over flights. A dual point-to-point winner for Denis Murphy, the son of Scorpion won a bumper on his debut for current connections at Tipperary in August. He was since beaten into third at Galway, but can be forgiven for that, with the front-running winner getting away on the field from early. Paul Townend is a positive jockey booking on fellow bumper winner Song Of Earth. Fourth on his hurdling debut at Listowel, the son of Mahler should come on plenty for that experience. Fest Deiz has some solid efforts to his name and has definite claims, while others of interest here are the Ellmarie Holden trained Knockmoylan and Kilbeggan runner-up Family Business.
