FormscanBy Michael Graham - PEMPIE was a major drifter on her Irish debut at Leopardstown, but put in a very solid shift to be runner-up, and could go one better. Pat Murphy's filly took plenty of credit from that run in an apprentice handicap, as she was beaten half a length by a very in-form horse, Reverberation, who brought up his treble. On her last start for Andrew Balding, she was a length second at Kempton in January over a similar trip as this one, so this all-weather surface should hold no fears. Wild Shot's last four runs here yielded form figures of 4123. He looks sure to give another good account, and Willie Byrne's 7lb claim helps offset some of his big weight. All of his five career victories have come at this track. Rockview Roman ought to be in the hunt for a cheque.
