FormscanBy Gary Carson - CUSTERS MISTAKE had some decent 'track' form a couple of years ago and could prove the pick here after a couple of wins in point-to-points. The Zoffany gelding was only beaten a head in a Roscommon maiden hurdle back in September 2021 and was also placed a couple of times over fences. He has struck twice having had his sights lowered in point-to-points this year and this looks a winnable opportunity now back on the racecourse. Shantou Snow is a potential improver and could be the danger. He took a maiden at Kirkistown in February on his second start and that form has been boosted since with the runner-up going on to score by a wide margin back at the same venue. Faith Loving has some good point-to-point form and this is a lot easier than the hunters chase he ran in at Fairyhouse, behind the exciting Ferns Lock. He could get involved at the business end this time.
