FormscanBy John O'Riordan - MALINA GIRL looks to have been presented with a real opportunity to open her account over fences. The Gavin Cromwell-trained mare has already shown an aptitude for chasing, having finished second on three separate occasions since switching from hurdles. Boasting the highest rating of any of these at the former discipline and arriving here with crucial handicap experience, she should get off the mark. Wild Caprice went very close on her fencing debut at Tipperary in July but failed to back that up subsequently. A repeat of that initial run would give her every chance. Point-to-point winner North Of Nashville should appreciate stepping up in trip. The Soldier Of Fortune mare has a bit to find on hurdles form but looks the type to make a better chaser.
