Formscan By Alan Magee - SPINOLA BAY hails from a yard in great form and gets the vote to complete a hat-trick. The selection overcame a mistake at the last when successful at Navan and was again prominent throughout when landing a very competitive 18-runner handicap at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting with Tatateo back in mid-division. Youlita justified strong support in a Downpatrick maiden last May and it will be interesting to see how strong he is in the market here on reappearance. Zuzukel was just denied at Punchestown last time and is another to consider along with Youneedabitofluck.
