FormscanBy Michael Graham - The lightly-raced JO BINNEY could have the scope to do better this season, and has an each-way chance. She concluded her last campaign with a solid fourth on rain-softened ground at Galway in October. The handicapper has dropped her 1lb and Siobhan Rutledge takes 7lb off her back. In addition, a hood is tried. Accladora wouldn't be winning out of turn after a pair of runner-up finishes in Naas and Gowran Park. Old Colonial got to within four lengths of top-class sprinter Sceptical in a maiden at Dundalk in November, when very heavily backed. He hasn't been seen since, and it is dangerous to read that form too literally, but he could go well in his first handicap. Global Pass grabbed his first victory in Limerick but rain wouldn't be in his favour.
