FormscanBy John O'Riordan - TROPICAL SPEED shaped well enough when staying on late to finish fourth at Sligo last time to suggest he can get involved now he is upped in trip. A lightly raced gelding having just his seventh career start, the Eoin Doyle-trained five-year-old will get few better opportunities to shed his maiden tag. Cruisin Susan finished runner-up last time but in truth, there was only ever going to be one winner. A maiden hurdle winner at Tramore almost two years ago, she does at least have previous winning form to her name. The locally trained Heart Of Rome needs to step up on what he has shown to date but Paul Nolan's gelding might find some improvement in first-time blinkers.
