Formscan By Donal Murphy - With Tiernan Power Roche claiming a valuable 5lb, it might be worth taking a chance on MERCURY MISSION. While his recent efforts have been disappointing, he did win at Wexford and Limerick earlier in the year and finished a good sixth of 22 in a competitive affair at the Punchestown Festival. Making the breakthrough at this venue in May, with two subsequent winners behind, Net Boy is sure to prove popular with punters. While having to contend with top-weight, he still might be ahead of the handicapper off his current mark of 120. No worse than second in four visits to Ballinrobe, Drumgill warrants the utmost respect, while The Mediator and Jake Peter are others capable of making an impact.
