FormscanBy Mark Nunan - PENNY OUT is chosen to follow up an easy win in maiden company over this trip here on Thursday. Previously unlucky when ridden from off the pace at Limerick and Galway, she was ridden much more prominently when pushed out to score by over five lengths, and can go well again under a six pound penalty. Eight And Bob won well at Galway from Mandarin Monarch, and can be competitive again despite a 9lbs hike in the weight, while Tonkinese has been in fine form and today’s rider gets a good tune out of him. Things haven’t clicked yet on the Flat for smart hurdler Thosedaysaregone, but he could be an entirely different proposition in handicap company off what looks a fair opening mark.
