Formscan By John O'Riordan - Due to go up 14lb following his narrow defeat in a Listowel Rated Race in mid-week, THE MARTY PARTY is difficult to oppose here off his old rating. Prominent throughout, the Joseph O'Brien-trained colt kept on well, only being caught close home. Provided that this race doesn't come too soon, he looks a seriously well handicapped horse. Fairyhouse Claiming Race winner Moonhall Church is now 4lb higher but the Alan McIntyre-trained filly travelled well throughout that contest, winning with a bit in hand. Off the track since June, Irish Acclamation could be interesting on her return given that she had shaped with promise on a couple of occasions prior to her break.
