FormscanBy Michael Graham - LUCY VAN PELT popped up at 25/1 in Punchestown and won't be anywhere near that price to follow up. The 80-95 handicap hurdle that she took by a length and a quarter has thrown up several winners, so she has a shot of defying a 6lb rise. Search For A Myth disappointed over further in Killarney. Her best result (runner-up at Clonmel) came over a similar trip to this one, so it isn't hard to see her being heavily involved. Natural Look has been runner-up in a point-to-point. She made up a fair amount of ground to come in third in a Tramore handicap hurdle over the minimum trip and looks ready for this step up in trip. Battle Away returned from almost three years off to win over flights at Killarney in mid-July. That was an incredible achievement. She clearly tired at the end of that race and should be fitter for it. The fear is the 'bounce factor' after so long off.
