FormscanBy Mark Nunan - The obvious starting point is ESCORT’NAMIX after her encouraging start for Gordon Elliott at Killarney last week. She finished third in a more competitive event than this over a furlong further, and a place behind her was Wednesday’s easy Downpatrick winner Etincelle Lioterie. The selection, a point-to-point winner in 2018, had a couple of good runs for Warren Greatrex including when fourth in a strong bumper at Plumpton. Moll Dote has a good 7lb claimer aboard and she has plenty of placed runs in the book in handicap company, mostly on easy ground. Her penultimate run when second in maiden company at Roscommon would give her a chance here. Thimbleweed was quite useful on the Flat for Ralph Beckett (dual winner and rated 88 at her peak) but needs to show a lot more than on her hurdling debut in March.
