Formscan By Michael Graham - EARLY DAWNING (1) jumped well in Killarney and it was the winning of the race for him. He's entitled to come on from that effort as it was his first run in more than six months. French-recruit Lureka Du Noyer went into many a notebook when winning well on Irish debut at Limerick. He was then beaten into second when odds-on favourite at Ballinrobe and it may be that he would prefer more juice in the ground. Mr Master Mac was a creditable second at Galway and rarely runs a below-par race, so has to enter calculations. Holy Joe is gunning for a hat-trick, but improvement could be required as this looks tougher than the races he won at Clonmel and Perth.
