Formscan By Tom Weekes - BETSEN hasn't built on his promising runner-up effort at Listed level in April - from which his high rating derives, but ran well enough last month and has been gelded in the interim. That recent Navan form isn't overly strong but the comfortable winner scored subsequently and dropping back in distance, and wearing first-time blinkers, might help as he travels quite well in his races. Keen-going White Clover was well held by a smart type at Cork recently and drops to this distance for the first time. Pansy Poe is proven over this distance and should run her usual race. Returning Red Hugh O'Donnell raced in a tongue-tie on debut and is now tried in cheekpieces.
