Formscan By Gary Carson - CLONMACASH ran well when fourth here in a similar contest three weeks ago, when the subject of a significant gamble. The Charming Thought gelding stayed on behind Nikki Swango then in a competitive contest and a similar run may be enough to collect now. He’s been eased a pound since. Denis Hogan saddles three and the ex-Ballydoyle horse Alfred Tennyson is interesting on his first start for the yard. He won a Limerick maiden last June and remains relatively unexposed. Heart Of Eternity is another addition for Hogan, having been bought from Godolphin. He showed promise in three starts for Charlie Appleby last summer.
