FormscanBy Michael Graham - MIDNIGHT IT IS was very impressive in shedding his maiden tag by nine and a half lengths in Limerick last month. The handicapper has hit him with 9lb but he is undoubtedly dangerous over a similar trip and ground. Wexford winner Outback Flyer looks to be on a reasonable mark and Tommy Brett takes 4lb off her back. Limerick Lace is proven over further. She weakened and fell in Grade 3 company on her last start but ought to be involved back in handicap company albeit she would prefer slower ground. She is two from two at this track. Life In The Park made all for a very easy 17-length success in Tramore and should improve further as he was a touch green. Francois has a pair of solid runner-up finishes in his last two starts. Rock Road has been off since July last year but a market move would be significant. Vera Verto didn't cut any ice in a valuable juvenile handicap hurdle at Aintree, but this Navan maiden hurdle winner cannot be ruled out over a new trip. British-raider Thanksforthehelp is up in trip but could get in the mix under Shane Fitzgerald.
An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards rated 95-123
