FormscanBy Alan Magee - The course and distance victory of MULLAGHMORE WAVE last week looks a key piece of form with two of his rivals on that occasion again in opposition. The John McConnell-trained gelding was placed twice in similar events at Downpatrick this autumn and was probably value for a bit more than the winning margin last time after appearing to idle in front. He meets runner-up General Hubble, who is 6lb out of the handicap proper, on slightly better terms and the booking of Derek O’Connor adds to confidence. Definiteadare was beaten about five lengths in fourth but didn’t enjoy the clearest of passages in the straight. Tullyveery Lad won his latest chase start at Downpatrick while Toofareastiswest was probably unsuited by soft ground at Galway last time.
