FormscanBy Mark Nunan - ART OF SILENCE unseated at the second on hurdling debut when sent off joint-favourite for a maiden at Listowel and deserves another chance. He won a bumper at Ballinrobe in May and was a good third in a winners’ contest at the same venue earlier this month. Catena Zapata is a two-time winner at Dundalk and wasn’t beaten far off a mark of 88 in a Curragh handicap in mid-summer. He can race freely but if settling effectively he’ll be a major player given his ability on the level. The 105-rated Wee Willie Nail has the benefit of experience and has twice been runner-up at Downpatrick. He hasn’t been getting home in his races and the drop back to 2m should help in that regard.
