Formscan By Stuart Howden - Having only gave way in the closing stages when finishing third over an extended 1m6f at Bellewstown 15 days ago, this drop in distance could prove fruitful for TRUBSHAW. Gabriella Hill can now claim her full 10lb claim and a breakthrough victory might be on the cards for Henry De Bromhead's gelding. Recent Dundalk third Ranting And Raven is a potential improver stepping up further in distance and is feared most, ahead of fellow in-form rival Bear Creek.
