Formscan By Gary Carson - RIDEAU CANAL came good at Thurles last month and may be able to bag a follow up win here. ‘Sneezy’ Foster’s charge asserted late on when scoring three weeks ago and he is fancied to confirm that form with Nolans Rocco. The runner-up is a few pounds better off with his rival but looked to be outstayed then. Mastermind, who was behind the pair in third then, has a bit to find. Gold Help Us returns from a little break and if he can show the same form as the autumn he’s another to consider.%0A%0A
