Going - Heavy, Soft To Heavy In Places. Overcast

Formscan By Eamonn Murphy - There's some 'shine' coming off this Navan maiden hurdle won by Speak Easy on December 9th. The selection here, PLAY THE GAME, finished fourth, and just in front of him, was Scarpeta - impressive yesterday in the opener at Gowran on Thyestes Day when a well-punted favourite. In fifth, six and a half lengths behind Play The Game was Riders Onthe Storm, and he wasn't missed in the market either when successful at Proudstown Park last weekend. Sixth then was Dortmund Park, and he's taken a maiden hurdle and a good novice contest since. El Rouli, Political Policy, Arch Stanton, Rough Night, Khudha and Sometimes A Fox are others to consider.
