FormscanBy Mark Nunan - MOVING WATER seems like the type who just does enough and can complete a hat-trick. After landing a Wexford maiden, he got on top close home to win his first handicap at Tipperary in June. The handicapper hasn’t missed him but Des McDonogh has given him plenty of time to strengthen up a bit further and he has a lovely racing weight on his back. Highland Penny is also going for three in a row after making virtually all at Tramore and Listowel. She’s up 11lb for the latter victory and that will make life tougher. Bumper and maiden hurdle winner Esperti is interesting on handicap debut. 2m7f looked too far for him when third at Killarney last time and he could fare better over this trip off what looks a reasonable mark.
