Formscan By Stuart Howden - LADY LENA made a promising debut when third at the Listowel Festival last month and that bumper has already thrown up a couple of winners. The daughter of Flemensfirth should progress from that initial outing and this looks a good opportunity to open her account. La Rocca Lass belied odds of 150/1 when third last time behind the selection’s stablemate Easter Bonnet at Punchestown, while Ballymoreen made a bright start at Thurles last December but didn’t progress when belatedly reappearing at Fairyhouse earlier this month. Any market move for newcomer Ah Now Cato would be interesting.
