Formscan By Stuart Howden - A change of scenery worked the oracle for MALBAS at Fairyhouse last month. He finally opened his account over timber with a cosy success on his first start for Edward Buckley's yard and may well defy a 9lb rise. Tubberfinn Lady can also feature on the back of winning at Kilbeggan in fine style, while Quinn The Eskimo remains unexposed over timber and is preferred to Fort Randall of the remainder.
