Formscan By Gary Carson - The 113-rated QUIRKE'S GATE looks capable of landing a race of this standard. Barry Connell's charge hasn't been far away in some decent maiden hurdles over the winter and this looks an easier task now. He had Tophill Low a length-and-three-quarters behind when chasing home Hunters Yarn at Naas in January and may be able to confirm placings with that mare now on the same terms. Arthor is another that hasn't been far away on recent starts and he looks like another obvious one for the shortlist.
