Formscan By Mark Nunan - Smart on the Flat, BRAVE TROOP was well supported on his first start for Charles Byrnes when a facile winner at Thurles last month. The five-year-old is up markedly in the ratings but the ground is likely to be similar which will suit him and he's open to plenty of further improvement in this discipline. Portnacoo, formerly trained by his owner Harry Smyth, rattled up a hat-trick of victories at Downpatrick in early autumn and returns after a couple of months off to make his debut for Ross O'Sullivan. Clonmel maiden winner Lady Bresil ran creditably after seven months off when placed on handicap debut at Punchestown while Lygon Lad drops in trip after showing promise in maidens. %0A%0A
