FormscanBy Gary Carson - MATER MATUTA can bag another winner around here. The Dawn Approach mare has won twice at the venue, including over fences here in late May. She ran well behind the well handicapped Petrol Head when third at Downpatrick on her last outing and looks capable of taking one of these off her current hurdle mark. Sayitfirst ran a solid race when third at a big price in Kilbeggan eight days ago and could get involved again in a weak enough looking contest. Blackstone Cliff wasn't beaten far when fifth last time and is another to consider. If first reserve Chutzpal gets a run it would change the complexion of the race.
