Formscan By Eamonn Murphy - Connections of RATHBRANCHURCH have been flirting with sprinting with their Buratino chestnut, but they've upped their charge to what looks like this more suitable trip again now. Mick Mulvany kept the selection busy at his local Navan venue at the end of last month into early September. In truth Rathbranchurch didn't do much wrong when placing on either occasion. Doubtless he's been a bit frustrating to follow and the key may be Wesley Joyce's presence in the plate for the first time and that valuable 4Ib allowance. On her initial appearance for the Cian Collins yard, Chica Power is potentially interesting whilst similar comments apply to Ampeson beginning for Gavin Cromwell.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards rated 47-75
