FormscanBy Tom Weekes - HILLSDALE showed promise in a smart maiden last month and is unexposed. A work-in-progress, he shaped quite nicely at Punchestown and while beaten 24 lengths, the winner is high-class, the placed-horses are able and he conceded 15lb to 95-rated Ivy Hall, which finished sixth. Brennus Lescribaa's chances are more apparent having chased home high-class winners at both Down Royal and Punchestown, when beating 15 rivals in each race. By a leading sire and a E82,000 3yo purchase, he is dependable but might be vulnerable to an improving selection. It is encouraging that connections have returned Finished Article to training as while she has obviously had training issues, might show form this season. Iron Allen won an ordinary point-to-point and has fair hurdles form.
