FormscanBy Michael Graham - SKONTONOVSKI has plenty going for him on his first start for Ger O'Leary in this optional claimer. A rating of 70 entitles him to plenty of respect and Darragh O'Sullivan claims a handy 7lb off his back. He was last seen finishing a decent second in a course and distance claimer in December. This is a drop in trip for Signor Ferrari, but he has winning form over it. Considering he has won two handicaps over further at Dundalk this year, his chance has to be taken seriously. Laura Hourigan has conjured five Dundalk victories from Notforalongtime who is capable of going well.
