Formscan By Mark Nunan - IAMIMMACULATE (1) had good form at the back-end of last season and should come on from his reappearance at Roscommon where he showed up well over a longer trip. With the inside draw and the champion jockey on board, the Coulsty gelding can defy top weight. Felix Somary left behind some moderate efforts when placed over 1m2f at Navan, and may be better suited by this trip. Nephin Mountain ran wide on the home turn when winning at Ballinrobe and was value for more than the narrow winning margin. Four of these are due to run over a mile here on Friday, and the outcome of that race will have a big bearing on the market. %0A%0A
