Formscan By Mark Nunan - GRANITE BAY chased home Clear Quartz on soft ground at Roscommon earlier this month and can turn around the form. The Time Test gelding was a three-time winner last season and his victory over a longer trip at the festival meeting here was preceded by a creditable run in that same Roscommon handicap. The progressive Starford was narrowly beaten at Galway when bidding for a hat-trick. That form hasn't worked out but he still merits plenty of respect. A creditable second at Sligo, Thatwilldoso is another that has been on an upward curve while Soaring Monarch took this last year and has run respectably a couple of times this term. %0A%0A
