Formscan By Michael Graham - CROSSBAR GETAWAY switched to Gordon Elliott and ran creditably in second at Tramore in May. That was an improvement on three previous outings and she was strong in the market for that Tramore bumper. Minella Supreme is going the right way for John McConnell after posting a third place in Bellewstown and a runner-up berth at Killarney. He looks to be a big player in this small field. Pointwelltaken took a big step forward when third at Wexford and could build upon that. Scary Askari made fair money at the sales and can show more after an opening sixth at this track, while McConnell's newcomer Whatafoolbelieves is worth a market check.
