Formscan By Eamonn Murphy - CRAZYHEART represents local connections and may be up to the task on what could be a good day for Davy Russell. Last time over an extended two miles and five at this venue on December 13th the selection raced with cheek-pieces on for the first time. That day Paul Nolan's runner tracked the leaders, and he was fifth at the halfway stage. Fourth four out and making headway to challenge two out, the son of Alhaarth was soon ridden and was making no impression in third on the run-in, ending up three parts of a length and two and a quarter lengths off Veneziano Springs and Cowboy Des Long. With blinkers back on and down to two miles Crazyheart is taken to see off D'bru Na Boinne, Buck A Trend, Crimson Chief, Littlestickarubarb, Reach Up and Roxboro Road.
