Formscan By Michael Graham - OLLIE LA BA BA could be the answer to a weak race. Eoin McCarthy's charge posted a decent effort in second behind an odds-on favourite in an auction maiden hurdle at Cork this month. That is strong form in the context of this race. Safran Et Bleu is a newcomer to note by virtue of being related to a host of multiple winners while Paul Nolan takes the wraps off Release The Beast who is well worth a market check. Mac's Xpress has plenty of experience over flights and has been placed in his last couple of outings albeit beaten a fair way in Listowel.
