FormscanBy Mark Nunan - RICH BELIEF was beaten by the minimum distance at Killarney and might get his turn off a 4lb higher mark. Karl Thornton’s 4-year-old was a fair third over course and distance previously and summer ground is what he wants. Ricky Langford is up 6lb for winning on the same Killarney card and looks a danger with Simon Torrens a significant booking. Junior Rattler has had a good year and is another to consider having beaten Galway winner Nodoubtaboutthat over further a couple of months ago. Raven Rule landed a maiden hurdle very easily on her penultimate start and, ridden by an in-form claimer, is not one to discount off topweight.
