Formscan By Eamonn Murphy - Arctic Gale and FIELD A THISTLES clash again after their encounter at Galway at the end of last month. Arctic Gale had the upper hand on that occasion when the pair finished close up behind Lightkeeper in a well-contested Galway Plate Day heat. However Mags Mullins' mare gets the nod on slightly better terms and she did upstage Arctic Gale when they competed behind Half A Chance at Limerick in May. Ms Mullins also has A Tipp For Gold in the field. He's not without hope either, but it won't be easy for him on his first start since March, conceding weight away all round on hurdling debut. Littlefoot has an experience edge on many of these. With cheekpieces now on it's not difficult to envisage him at least making the frame.
