FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Shane Fitzgerald got the nod in the previous heat on Nextdoortoalice and he could be the man to follow here too aboard David Christie's BLUE MARKIE. Blue Markie won't face something like his Down Royal conqueror, Blackstair Rocco, every day he goes out, and the seven-year-old might well go a place better now. The selection was very good over fences at Tramore in April, and there should be a hurdle win in him at some stage. Last time out victors My Friend The Wind and Willyouwalkwithme are certainly respected, but all told many are worthy of consideration. The three handicap first-timers will need to be monitored in the market, whilst a first-time tongue-strap could bring Saga Aravis forward.
