FormscanBy Alan Magee - SATIN SUN suggested she should be well-suited by this trip when keeping on well behind Capture The Action over two miles at Thurles. The selection subsequently ran too bad to be true at Cork but returned to form when going down narrowly over 2m5f at Tramore on New Year’s Day. Ensel Du Perche is an obvious danger. Gavin Cromwell’s charge went close following over a year on the sidelines in a Naas maiden and now makes his handicap debut after falling at the first on his chasing debut at Punchestown. Still King is another to note on his first handicap start, while Dragon’s Pass won over course and distance on her penultimate start but needs to bounce back after being soundly beaten at Cork. Thunderosa probably found three miles too far at Fairyhouse last time while conversely stamina is Glenabo Bridge’s strong suit having won over that distance at Punchestown last week.
