FormscanBy Alan Magee - MAHLERS DOLLAR can gain a deserved win. The seven-year-old gelding made a belated debut under rules last summer and was a model of consistency in bumpers when placed on five of his six starts including when runner-up to On Eagles Wings at Cork. Terence O’Brien’s charge was switched to hurdles after Christmas and showed promise when third to the odds-on Capodanno over this course and distance. He should appreciate this better ground and hopefully will be straight enough after a five months break. Aubretia was switched to hurdles last autumn after joining Colm Murphy from Richard Hannon and filled the runner-up spot at Roscommon. She was fourth to hot-pot Gypsy Island when reappearing at Tipperary last month and that form received a timely boost when runner-up Annie G bolted up at Listowel on Monday. Living’s Boy An Co was just denied in a 2m4f Fairyhouse maiden in February but has failed to progress since.
