Formscan By John O'Riordan - The thoroughly admirable INISHMOT PRINCE can record a tenth career success at this venue. Tom McCourt's gelding has been slow to come to hand this winter but has shaped well enough on a couple of occasions to suggest he can be competitive off this rating. Runner-up in this race last year, the seven-year-old can open his account for the campaign. Dream Today, who beat Inishmot Prince in last years renewal, needs to return to his best to follow up. However, there have been signs in recent months that the gelding remains a force in this grade. Heart Of Darkness is an interesting runner on her debut for Ado McGuinness. A maiden winner over course and distance, she could be well treated with Jack Kearney claiming 5lb.

Quotes on Inishmot Prince (IRE)
I would have been disappointed if he got beaten the form he was in at home. Since Bellewstown, he really came on very well. He is 21lb lower on grass than he is on all-weather, but he needed every yard of it. You don't want muddling pace, he has to have something fast and something to aim at. James said he had a job pulling him up, he only got going at the end. I was going to put him in at Fairyhouse on Monday, but I just don't think Fairyhouse suits him. It is six furlongs on a bend and is just too muddling for him, he needs room. Six up the Curragh in one of those handicaps if the ground stays dry and then back to Dundalk.

Quotes on Mehman (GB)
Shane did well to get through plenty of traffic and he said that’s his ground,. We’ll probably go back to the Curragh and find a nice sprint for him. He won three before in Dundalk but never got it together on the turf for some reason. He can be a bit volatile and on his first couple of runs of the year he can be a bit fresh. He was very calm and chilled today.

I said to Colin 'just do us one favour, whatever happens, come this side (stands' rail)'. Last week he went up the far side. That's why I left Colin on her, I didn't even claim off her with the 10-1, because he knows her.
