FormscanBy Mark Nunan - LITTLE MIX-UP kept on well for fourth at Ballinrobe last month and was again doing his best work at the finish when third over two miles here on Monday. The Shirocco gelding looks ready for this step-up in trip and his rider is good value for his 7lb claim. Four times a winner over fences, Well Joey has yet to score over the smaller obstacles but was a fine second to Farrawaybay at Galway last time and the form was franked when the winner went close here on the opening day of the Festival. My Friend The Wind has been most consistent since winning at Tipperary in May and has to be on the shortlist, while Icee M B A has enjoyed a fine summer and is another to consider although she would probably prefer an extra couple of furlongs.
