FormscanBy Donal Murphy - LITTLE BROTHER might be able to follow-up on his Sligo success here. The James Nash trained three-year-old deservedly made the breakthrough at the northwest venue, just holding off the late surge of Jeff Kidder by a neck. Upped just six pounds for that victory, the son of Gale Force Ten still looks well-treated off a mark of 57 and with Mikey Sheehy taking a valuable seven pounds off, he can be expected to go close, upped in trip to a mile and six for the first time. Top-weight Molly Kaye won twice last season and she has definite claims, while Leopardstown runner-up Dawn Over Owing is another to consider. He was no match for Red Kelly at the Foxrock circuit, but it'll come as little surprise if he manages to get his head in front here with Hugh Horgan aboard. Paula's Prayer and Happy Company are others to consider in this weak contest.
