FormscanBy Mark Nunan - SNOWY OWL went close at Leopardstown in a slightly higher grade on his penultimate start and looks a leading contender on that showing. The Galileo colt wasn’t as effective last time, when third at Navan, but going back up in trip should help his cause as he tackles older handicappers for the first time. Stable companion Moon Daisy was a warm order in the betting when only sixth last time, but an extra furlong and first-time headgear may bring about improvement and she’s not ruled out. Blue Shadow has plenty of weight but his third to subsequent winner Morph Speed was a good effort, while Chateau Musar was a four-time winner at Dundalk over the winter and it will be interesting to see if he can continue his progression on turf.
