FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Course and distance winner MY FRIEND THE WIND can register another success at this track. The Eric McNamara-trained nine-year-old has shaped well enough in three runs since his reappearance in April to suggest he can take this prize. Recent Bellewstown winner Inforapenny rates a serious threat. Mark Fahey's gelding was well supported to land that contest, doing so by the narrowest of margins. Despite being raised 5lb as a result, the son of Mustameet should go close. On My Bike only has the sole success from 14 starts but the Gavin Cromwell-trained six-year-old has run well in similar races of late. It would be no surprise to see him add to his Punchestown victory in the coming weeks.
