Formscan By John O'Riordan - PLAINS INDIAN is favoured by these weights so can follow up his recent Ballinrobe win. The Andy Slattery trained six-year-old has developed a real understanding with young Cian Quirke, who has been on board for both career wins. If anything, this race looks slightly easier than the contest he won last time, so it would be disappointing were he not to take full advantage. Ambitious Fellow made a pleasing reappearance at Wexford, while giving the impression that he needed a stiffer test. He will get that here and should also strip fitter on this second run back. Bravo Team easily landed a handicap at Down Royal last time but faces a harder task against this opposition. Nonetheless, he is certainly worth trying in this grade.
