FormscanBy Donal Murphy - One For Joe and Norwigi are both of interest and could come alive in the market. The former is tried in cheekpieces for the first time, while the latter has some solid form to her name and returns now after a three-month break. Henry de Bromhead and John Ryan are both double handed, with preference for the de Bromhead-trained WHACKER CLAN. A point-to-point winner for John Halley, he was successful over flights on his penultimate start at Tipperary. The Westerner gelding since disappointed on his racecourse debut over fences but is entitled to come on for that run and is fitted with cheekpieces for the first time now. Mutual Respect is given second preference. He was a close third on his debut over fences at Tramore in June and had two subsequent winners in behind. A respectable sixth on his most recent start at Wexford, he was later disqualified after his rider failed to weigh-in. In truth, a case can be made for nearly all of these.
