FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - NYMPHHALL might be able to follow up on her success at Kilbeggan on Monday. The well-bred daughter of Oscar is having a busy time of it, having been in action at Downpatrick just two days prior to Kilbeggan, but she seems to be taking it all nicely within her stride. Nymphhall actually got nine pounds for her win, so her chance is there for all to see off a mandatory five pound penalty. She’s back in trip alright but an in-form mare like this isn’t easy to go against. This looks the sort of handicap where it may be best to focus on those towards the top of the weights, and among the others that are respected are Blackstair Rocco and Blue Markie. Minella Mystics’ movements in the market need to be monitored.
