Formscan By Tom Weekes - Last year's Ulster National winner MALINA GIRL would prefer a longer distance but reverts to hurdling rated 31lb below her chase rating, and is ridden by a 5lb claimer. She well held in an October handicap hurdle but that was her seasonal reappearance run and has been competing well at a smart level over fences recently. Pipers Boreen is 8lb higher than when winning narrowly at Punchestown last month and reverts down in distance. Bestaline has been running consistently well in recent handicaps and while she isn't ahead of the handicapper, should run well. Bella Bliss is rated 7lb lower in this sphere than over fences but hasn't run since October and would prefer better ground. Circus Act has been running well but has won just once from 21 runs. Lovely Reaction finished behind Pipers Boreen in January but is now 12lb better off.
