Formscan By Gary Carson - MOSSY FEN PARK looks the one to beat here after a nice run on his 'track' debut at Punchestown last month. The Walk In The Park gelding cost %A3200,000 after winning a Nenagh point-to-point in February and shaped nicely on his racecourse bow when chasing home a smart sort in Predators Gold. Great Universe showed a fair level of ability in bumpers and ran a nice race when third on his hurdling debut at Clonmel. He could improve from that experience. Annaghbeg ran well when third here last month and lost out narrowly over in Ayr just over two weeks ago. He's another that has to be on the shortlist.
