Formscan By Alan Magee - Sure Reef scored three times in handicap company at around a mile and a half on a variety of ground conditions for Michael Halford last year to earn a rating in the 80’s. His hurdle debut was a bit of a disaster when failing to negotiate the first flight at Punchestown but the Closutton team will have done plenty of schooling in the meantime. AKORAKOR impressed between the flags at Lismore before landing the valuable point-to-point bumper at the Fairyhouse Easter meeting. However like Sure Reef he’s also on something of a retrieval mission following a hurdling debut which didn’t go to plan. Mouse Morris’ charge weakened tamely in the straight when soundly beaten behind Noah Webster at Naas but is surely much better than that. Riverside City hails from a stable in great form at present, and enters calculations on his second to Clonard Lad over this trip at Naas last month.
