FormscanBy Gary Carson - The unexposed mare TOPHILL LOW could be on a nice mark here for her handicap debut. The daughter of Walk In The Park had a couple of nice runs before opening her account in good style at Thurles last month. The handicapper gave her a 5lb rise for that maiden win but she still looks attractively treated with further improvement possible. Connections will be hoping the ground continues to dry out for Ted Hastings who was in fine form when last seen. The Imperial Monarch gelding won twice over hurdles, across the water, and took a Flat maiden at Bellewstown on his most recent outing in September. L Anamour ran well when third behind Ottoman Style in a competitive heat at Down Royal last time and could be one for a place again here.
