FormscanBy Mark Nunan - RUSHEEN was touched off over hurdles at Limerick's Christmas meeting last year before going one better over 2m4f at Fairyhouse. He returned from nine months off with an encouraging effort to finish fifth in a Clonmel handicap on chase debut and should come on for that experience. Atacanter may have found a marathon trip beyond him last time but he was placed twice over 3m1f earlier in the year including when second at this course in March. Quornofamonday and Duffys Getaway are hurdle winners who make some appeal in their first handicap over fences while Whateys Quest will be suited by this trip and market strength would be significant. %0A
