FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Third on his chasing debut over course and distance last month, WATCH THE WEATHER has every chance of improving a couple of places. A winner over hurdles at this track, the eight-year-old clearly acts around here. Granted normal improvement from that promising introduction the Ray Cody-trained gelding holds strong claims. Ballybawn Belter would have been just about the best of these over flights so has to be of serious interest if taking to fences. Liz Doyle is sure to have the mare primed for this race at her local venue. Point-to-point winner Sam Magee is another that is well capable of playing a leading role. Although pulled up on his only previous start over the larger obstacles, the gelding had won over hurdles here in April.
