FormscanBy John O'Riordan - The Anthony McCann-trained ROCKSTOWN GIRL should win if able to translate her smart bumper form to hurdling. A winner on racecourse debut at Roscommon last July, the five-year-old was subsequently third in both a Listed and Grade 2 Mares bumper. On her final outing of the campaign, she also acquitted herself respectably when seventh of 20 in the Aintree Mares Bumper. Facing nothing of that quality on her first start over flights, it will be disappointing if she can't collect. Faux Fur will need to jump better than on her hurdling debut at Navan but if doing so, the Gordon Elliott-trained mare is capable of running a big race. Leahs Tricks has shaped well enough on both starts over flights to suggest she could at least reach the frame in a race lacking any real strength in depth.
