FormscanBy John O'Riordan - On a tight track such as this, JE T'AI PORTE could prove a hard mare to pass. The Gavin Cromwell-trained six-year-old gave an exhibition of jumping for the most part when runner-up at Ballinrobe last time. Only for an uncharacteristic mistake four out, she would have really made a much higher rated rival pull out all the stops. Back in handicap company here, she appears to hold strong claims. A maiden hurdle winner here earlier in his career, I A Connect should appreciate returning to this course. The nine-year-old is quite lightly raced over fences, so still has scope for improvement despite his age. Presenting Lad runs off a career high mark but having won his last three starts the Mark McNiff-trained gelding has to be respected.
