FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Two in here for Noel Meade with COOLBAWN LAD and Gipsi Joe (a half brother to Easysland) doing battle for the Tu Va handler. Meet And Greet begins for the Oliver McKiernan yard after a promising debut in a Roscommon bumper for Pat O’Rourke and his son Jimmy, but lack of jumping experience could count against him. Owners the Lyreen Syndicate have a very promising young horse on their hands in Call Me Lyreen, and their green and red silks could get another successful airing here through the Sean Flanagan-ridden Coolbawn Lad. With a first-time tongue-strap on, and a step-up in trip promising to suit, the selection is taken to get the better of Breakeven and company.
