FormscanBy Mark Nunan - RULE OF JUNE was touched off over a similar distance at Killarney last year and came back to something like that form when fourth last time at Punchestown. She can go well for 5lb claimer Ambrose McCurtin, who rode a double at Clonmel last week. Forgetthesurprise was second in a Bellewstown handicap last summer and can build on a fair run last time, with her owner, who rode her to win a bumper, back on board. Frazel Express was behind a couple of subsequent winners when fifth at Tramore and comes into calculations along with handicap first-timer Delias Pet, who caught the eye in a strong maiden at Naas last year and comes from a stable in flying form. Eightytwo Team ran creditably over fences at Punchestown and is another lightly-raced type who is open to improvement.
