Formscan By Gary Carson - SAN AER may be worth a shot on his return to action. The Vocalised gelding was last seen over hurdles at Thurles in late November. He had run a big race on the level at Galway previously when losing out by half-a-length to Ribee. That form looks good now with the winner taking last week’s Irish Lincoln. Hurricane Ivor won this at a big price last year and is a couple of pounds lower this time. He’s one to note. Stable jockey Shane Foley sides with Collecting Coin. She was an impressive maiden winner at Galway before a couple of solid efforts in conditions races and could be an improver this term.
