Formscan By Alan Magee - ROJUCO MAC has shown plenty of promise on both starts and gets the vote. The Charles Byrnes-trained gelding filled third spot behind the odds-on Gameofinches on debut at Punchestown back in February and only went down by half a length to the useful Ballyfad when returning to that venue last month. Burning Ability has also been placed on his latest two bumper outings including when staying on into third behind Tiktok Casey at Naas, while point-to-point winner Detroit Maverick may prove the pick of Gordon Elliott’s two runners. Willie and Patrick Mullins team up with Looking For Eight who is a Muhtathir half-brother to promising stablemate Sortudo.
