Formscan By Tom Weekes - SEAN MC finished second to a subsequent winner on just his second handicap start last month and can win from his revised rating. Out of a half-sister to his trainer’s high-class Accordion Etoile, the selection’s form was initially poor but showed improvement at Fairyhouse, where he was the subject of a morning gamble. He is 3lb higher but is suited by conditions. Kinturk Nelson is a lightly-raced seven-year-old who ran reasonably well on handicap debut at Fairyhouse last month and should compete while Sarandon ran well on handicap debut at Cork and steps up in trip.
