FormscanBy Donal Murphy - BANNTOWN GIRL gets the nod here over Urabamba. The selection was a good winner at Roscommon last month with her trainer Stephen 'Sonny' Carey later saying: "She jumps brilliantly." The daughter of Stowaway is a full-sister to Blackbow and she makes her debut over flights now. With Paul Townend booked to ride, she looks the one to side with. Urabamba, who has a mark of 104, has some decent placed efforts to his name and should give a good account of himself with Hugh Morgan taking five pounds off. Derrinlaur Bill won a bumper at Limerick in June of last year but the form of that race has not worked out well and she is likely to need the run. Falcon Park ran very well on his penultimate start and while he disappointed since, he might be able to bounce back here. Others of note are Shamiyan and Raphael, with the later a five time winner on the level.
