Formscan By Gary Carson - FIELD A THISTLES made a promising debut when fourth in the Tattersalls Ireland Sales Bumper at Fairyhouse last Easter and the form of that race has worked out particularly well. The valuable contest was won by exciting prospect Brighterdaysahead while Field A Thistles also had a couple of recent winners in behind then, in Williethebuilder and Dee Capo. Glens Lullaby made a promising debut when third at Tipperary at the start of the month and if she builds on that she could be the danger. Rachel's Secret ran a big race, at a big price, when second in a Tramore maiden hurdle on her 'track' debut and the Yeats filly is another that has to be on the shortlist.
