Formscan By Alan Magee - The locally trained MY FRIEND THE WIND may prove the one to beat. Eric McNamara’s charge won a handicap hurdle on testing ground at Tipperary last year and, having been placed twice in staying handicap hurdles at Listowel this year, made a promising return to fences at Galway last time when runner-up to Captain Jimmy. Ballyadam Destiny has won three times over hurdles including on soft ground over this trip on his penultimate start at Galway but jumping fences has been an issue in the past. Lizrona appreciated the addition of cheek pieces when opening her account in the Molony Cup at Thurles recently, while others to consider include Difficult Decision and The Tack Room. Any market move for the latter would be significant.
