FormscanBy Mark Nunan - SITTINGONTHEFENCE was fourth at this venue in May and just failed to land a gamble on her return visit last month. The daughter of Getaway was nabbed close home over a trip similar to this one but finished clear of the rest and can go one better off a 3lb higher mark. Danny Mullin’s presence in the saddle certainly adds to confidence. Glenmalure Lodge has been runner-up twice at Ballinrobe this year and was pipped by a subsequent winner in June. She’s an obvious contender. Menindee is closely matched with Glenmalure Lodge on the form of her third here last month and she was beaten only fractions when filling the same spot at Downpatrick on her latest outing. If the fitting of a tongue-tie ekes out a bit more improvement, she’ll go close. Karayaz stepped up on previous efforts when second in a Sligo maiden and has a chance if building on that.
