Formscan By Donal Murphy - OWEN MC won in impressive style on his debut over the course and distance recently and he can make it two from two here. Noel Meade said after that success: "we thought he was useful. He did everything very nicely at home but he'd never really been asked to do anything. He did three pieces of work and he got better and better so it wasn't a surprise." He beat the well regarded Quickpick Vic into second on that ocassion while Captain Lob, who has a decent level of form, was fourth. Anything other than a win for the son of Oscar here would come as a surprise. Dantes Firth looks the clear danger. He won his bumper last time out at Thurles and wearing a tongue strap for the first time could bring about further improvement in him. Milan Bound and Gabriel Brandy are the other two to consider.
