Formscan By John O'Riordan - CONTRARY TO LAW(10) could be well enough treated to make a winning handicap debut. Having caught the eye staying on late in both starts over shorter for Johnny Murtagh, the Night Of Thunder colt should appreciate stepping back up to this trip. Well drawn close to the rail, if Ben Coen can get away and, hold a prominent early position, the three-year-old looks sure to finish off his race strongly. Hugo's Girl didn't get the clearest of passages when fourth here earlier this month. Again well drawn in the favoured low stalls, the Thomas Dowling-trained filly holds decent claims. Leopardstown runner-up Green Kite would hold every chance on that form but will need to break smartly from out wide.
