FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Tom Mullins had a nice winner at the Curragh last weekend and SAN AER may provide him with another. A maiden winner over 1m last autumn, he’s come back to form of late with solid efforts in competitive handicaps at Leopardstown and Galway. The handicapper has left his mark alone and a stiff 7f should suit him well. Stamina is a slight concern for 6f maiden winner One Sweet Day who didn’t have the clearest of runs when second to an easy winner over that trip here a fortnight ago. This is her first run beyond sprint distances. Walking On Clouds was touched off over 7f last term and looks worth stepping back up in trip after a series of good efforts over 6f. He kept on well when beaten little more than a length at Cork last time. The veteran Ducky Mallon was a popular winner over 6f earlier this month. That was his ninth career victory and he’s a dual winner at this trip but might be vulnerable off a 7lb higher mark.
