FormscanBy Michael Graham - FASTMAN has switched to John McConnell and showed promise in fourth at Gowran Park. Winners have come out of that race, so the form looks solid. The Bog Bank is sliding down the weights and effectively competes off a lowly mark of 46 with her rider's claim factored in. Breezy Zoff finds it hard to win, but her third place in Listowel reads well and she is on track for prize money. McConnell's Smaoineamh Sile took advantage of stall one to make all in Leopardstown. Being drawn 16 here makes life trickier, but she is an in-form mare. The World's Astage, who was beaten a neck into second at Ayr, and McConnell's The Stray Sod are others with chances.
