Formscan By Tom Weekes - POETISA has good recent form and has shown nice promise todate. Out of a half-sister to top class hurdler Macs Joy, the selection was purchased for 300,000 pounds following a debut bumper success and while disappointing on hurdling debut in January, improved from that effort subsequently. In that subsequent Navan race, she turned form with her Punchestown-conqueror, when also chasing home smart winner Zanoosh. Kiltybo scored at Thurles last month but must now concede 7lb to that race’s runner-up Moyneard, and each probably needs to improve to beat the selection.
