Formscan By Alan Magee - BELLA UNION has been sidelined for much of the past two years but gave plenty of encouragement here last time and should appreciate this step up in distance. The John McConnell-trained gelding was reappearing after a six-month absence when putting in good late headway to make the frame behind Cher Tara over 2m4f on the St Patrick’s Day card with Sir Carnegie back in seventh. The Lucky Lobster appears suited by good ground and had Look Don’t Touch well behind when placed at Limerick last time, while Kalsman won over a similar trip at Downpatrick last summer and should benefit from a recent outing.
