Formscan By Shane Redmond - A clear round of jumping should be enough for CINATING to win. She has three fair runs in bumpers to her name and looked to be going well enough when falling at the second-last hurdle when leading in a maiden race at Ballinrobe two weeks ago. Dont Break My Word, a 300/1 chance on the day, took fourth place in that same race and could well reach the frame again but she might not pose the same threat as Ritz Plan who gained valuable experience in three academy hurdles late last year. Mike Des Mottes was only a neck behind Cinating when fourth on his bumper debut at Leopardstown in early March but he couldn't build on that promising effort when well beaten at Killarney last time.
