FormscanBy Mark Nunan - ‘Shark’ Hanlon has had a good run with his string since jump racing resumed and NASEE might improve from a mid-division finish in his first handicap hurdle at Tipperary. He won on the Flat at Yarmouth last year for Ed Vaughan when wearing cheekpieces, and that headgear is now reapplied which looks a positive move. Thatbeatsbanagher is now 24lbs lower over hurdles than his chase mark after a good win over fences at Killarney, but he’s yet to be placed in nine starts over the smaller obstacles. Hopefully will have to show a lot more than on her handicap bow at Kilbeggan, while Casamari Abbey ran well in a couple of bumpers starting out his career and there may be a bit more to come over hurdles after a respectable comeback effort at Killarney.
