Formscan By Mark Nunan - LORD FFRENCH was a cozy winner of a maiden over 2m4f at Sligo on his second start and now steps into handicap company. His opening mark doesn’t look that lenient but he had some useful bumper form last year and might improve again for stepping up in trip. Mephisto has shot up the ratings after rattling up a hat-trick on good ground last month. Things will be harder for him now but he’s a course winner and has shown fair form on soft ground too. Locally-trained Tomas O Maille ran poorly last time but had been in good form here prior to that. Mica Malpic is well treated compared to his chase mark but would prefer further. %0A%0A
