FormscanBy Mark Nunan - A race at this meeting was suggested as the likely next target for BLUEBELL DIVA after her win at Clonmel where she had Doyen Ta Win back in third. Runner-up on the inside track here on her previous start, testing ground won't be an issue and Mouse Morris' mare may be able to defy a 7lb hike if equally effective over this three-furlong longer trip. Doyen Ta Win was beaten just a neck over 2m4f at Wexford on her penultimate start so has no stamina concerns and has her chance at the revised weights. Bugscuffle ran his best race so far when third in a maiden on the inside track here last month and the runner-up from that race scored easily in handicap company next time. The cheekpieces worn for the first time then are reapplied. Topweight Castlehill Boy has shown promise in bumpers and maidens and is not one to rule out on handicap debut. %0A
