FormscanBy Donal Murphy - Beaten by just half-a-length into second over the course and distance last month, FANCY A COSMO might be able to go a place better now. Placed four times in-a-row back in 2021, the six-year-old has obviously had setbacks and ran just once throughout last year. With two track wins to her name, Emily Cody takes the ride on the selection for her uncle Ray and she claims a valuable 7lb. Jody Townend is a significant jockey booking on Doctor Churchill, with this Cormac Farrell-trained bay given second preference. He ran a fine race to finish seventh of 25 on his debut for Farrell at the Punchestown Festival, but since failed to make an impact at Cork. Rathnaleen Kal has been in great form of late and is sure to have plenty of supporters with Maxine O'Sullivan aboard, while recent Wexford runner-up Warm In Gorey and top-weight Mica Malpica are others that warrant respect.
