Formscan By Gary Carson - SLURRICANE ran a big race last time in a competitive event at Fairyhouse and can land a nice pot now. The Kodiac gelding was in the mix going to the last then and did well to stand up when hampered by a faller. He finished third, to Zillow, in the end and remains on the same mark. Lenjoleur De Palma was an easy winner on his last visit here. He got a 9lb hike for that wide margin win over course and distance but could still have a few pounds up his sleeve. Rakki was no match for Son Of Anarchy at Punchestown last time but it was still a solid effort in second and he’s another to consider.
