Formscan By Alan Magee - VALENCIA kept good company in three outings last year including when runner-up to the smart Swelter over a mile at Leopardstown and she was also fourth behind better fancied stablemate Apples And Bananas over course and distance in the Goffs Million. Poweracclaim didn’t enjoy much luck in running before keeping on nicely inside the final furlong when fifth to Varshini on debut over this trip at Gowran and can reverse places with the consistent Gran Habano who was just ahead in third. Collecting Coin was third on debut at Cork and that form received a timely boost when the runner-up, Omni Man, won at Roscommon on Monday.
