FormscanBy Alan Magee - TELL US THIS has progressed well since encountering good ground and got off the mark in a 20-runner handicap at Down Royal last month. The Gavin Cromwell-trained gelding subsequently beat all bar Herculaneum in another big field event at Ballinrobe and may have found a good opportunity to regain the winning thread providing the forecast rain doesn’t change ground conditions too much. Mater Matuta gained a fourth career win over fences at Tramore, and the dual-purpose mare is another suited by a decent surface. Brownstone also won at Tramore this spring and was far from disgraced on both outings since.
