Formscan By Tom Weekes - SAUNTON SURF ran well at today’s course in May and should benefit from that chasing debut. Winner of her initial point-to-point and bumper back in 2023, the selection has largely frustrated since but nonetheless has shown form and a reproduction of her recent effort would give her every chance at today’s longer distance. Tropical Image’s rating has fallen 4lb following her recent Listowel runner-up effort in handicap company and while she has more on her plate here, is helped by receiving a mares’ allowance in this restricted race. Anodandawink disappointed at Kilbeggan while Schiehallion and Coppola were each pulled up on their latest runs.
