Formscan By Gary Carson - Ellie Gartlan looks to have a big chance on her first ride since taking out a licence, on BIT OF A BUZZ (1). The 10lb claimer did have a spin in a charity race a couple of years ago. This Showcasing colt has been knocking on the door and went close at Bellewstown last time when third to Grayrobin. Shafters Legacy showed improvement when third in a maiden here last month and could be a danger on her handicap debut. Santorini Storm has been running in some decent maidens and is another to note now off a lowly enough rating of 63.
