FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Runner-up at Ayr when last seen in April, the Stuart Crawford-trained BALLYCOOSE can make a winning reappearance. Lightly raced over fences having had just the four starts, the seven-year-old is open to further improvement this term. Danny Mullins is a positive booking on a gelding who tends to run well off the back of a break. Wexford scorer Watch The Weather will find this easier having struggled in a Grade 3 at Cork last time. A consistent gelding, the eight-year-old is likely to be very competitive for trainer Ray Cody. Magic Tricks needs to step up considerably on recent runs over fences but there is no denying the Gordon Elliott-trained gelding is well handicapped.
