Formscan By Michael Graham - Plenty of these horses like to get on with proceedings, so this race could shape up well for a closer. MAVETHERAVE stayed on for third in Ballinrobe and was a fair fourth over course and distance in June, so Stuart Crawford's charge has a shot of making the breakthrough in a tricky race. Eco Pete has been placed in two of his last three hurdle races which makes him a contender. Minella Supreme enjoyed himself in winning a bumper at this track and could show up well on his first crack at hurdling. Crawford's Southey won a point-to-point at Toomebridge in May and has enough hurdle form to advertise his chance, while Fool Me Once cannot be ruled out.
