Formscan By Michael Graham - THREE IN A ROW can build upon a third place on handicap debut in Limerick at the start of the month. That run was on better ground, but his sole success came on soft ground in a novice handicap hurdle at Naas last year. He is due to encounter plenty of cut in the ground with the forecast rain. Philip Donovan rode a patient race to win on Island McCoo at Tramore in mid-April. The in-form jockey has the chance of another winner aboard this eight-year-old gelding. Big Island was only headed close home in Limerick, while Aliunde is far from out of contention.
