Formscan By Mark Nunan - Cian Collins and Eoin Staples have good claims in the previous contest with Torquay Road and that is the case again here with the progressive SPORTING GLANCE. The Coastal Path gelding won readily over course and distance on handicap debut early last month and followed up with an equally comfortable success in a rated novice at Downpatrick. He has shot up the ratings but looks capable of landing the hat-trick. Beaten six lengths when third to the selection at this venue, Kingkong Ciergues is now 12lb better off which obviously gives him a good chance on paper. Jacovec Cavern comes into this in good form and is another that has to enter calculations. %0A%0A
