FormscanBy Michael Graham - Perhaps MUNTAHEZ can double his career total. He has some fair form over the last year including both a third and a runner-up finish in Punchestown, and a fourth at Roscommon. He has placed form on yielding to soft ground which will aid his cause with the amount of rain moving into Thurles on Wednesday. Matilda With Me could go better on testing ground. This triple winner on the Flat is unexposed over hurdles. Brehon Star drops back in trip after running fifth over 2m4f at Gowran Park. He looks one of the more likely contenders with Michael O'Sullivan claiming 5lb. Vairue attracted support in Gowran Park last month. He was beaten in fourth when he fell at the last, but it will be interesting to see if he is backed again. First-reserve Elle Dorado Rock would be a big player if getting a run. He would be making his handicap debut over flights and didn't run badly in sixth on the Flat at Killarney.
