FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Top-weight ELLIS BOYD REDDING has useful form in recent maidens. Suited by testing ground, he contested a smart looking race at Tramore, has point-to-point form so could be suited by today's extra distance and a promising rider has been poached from England. Stablemate Purse Price can reverse Limerick placings with Ik's Man, being 10lb better off. Both receive weight from the selection but step up to a slightly better race. Mister Bo was well held on Fairyhouse reappearance but won a bumper at that course last February, with the third-placed horse winning twice subsequently and is now rated 122. Della Casa Lunga has form but debuts over jumps while Hands Of Gold was never involved at Limerick but steps up in distance.
