FormscanBy Mark Nunan - FLIRTING LESA, a course and distance hunter chase winner last year, won in great style at Galway and can follow up off a 9lb higher mark. She hasn’t had much racing for one of her age and is open to more improvement. Tiantu is on a hat-trick after wins at Wexford and Tramore and is respected off a nice racing weight. Stylish Moment was in good form last autumn with a couple of wins over fences and ran creditably when runner-up at Sligo recently. Line Out has a nice bit of experience for a novice and makes his handicap debut after winning his beginners’ chase at Ballinrobe. Macgiloney beat Doctor Duffy at Roscommon and ran well in his first handicap at Galway. On the expected better ground, he could easily bounce back from a poor run last time.
