Formscan By Mark Nunan - Eoin Griffin has been amongst the winners lately and a chance is taken on his eight-year-old maiden LOUGH NIGARA who has been placed three times over distances just shy of this three miles. The form of his third at Listowel in May has worked out well and a couple of his stablemates have won first time out this season, so he may be forward enough to go close despite the lack of a recent run. Kingkong Ciergues has run well over 2m6f at Galway on his last two starts and looks worth a try at this trip while Ney won his first two chase starts early in the year and his hurdles mark is 14lb lower than his chase rating. %0A%0A
