FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - A beaten favourite the last twice Swelltime is likely to have his supporters again, but he could struggle to match strides with the likes of WE’LL GO AGAIN come the business end. The selection shouldn’t have much to fear from the likes of Illusory or Stellify on past evidence, and he may well step up a place after a Roscommon silver medal three weeks back. It mightn’t be a good idea to be crossing off many of these too readily, in what has the appearance of a competitive finale. With so little Flat racing around Ballinrobe now though, it might be best to have one of the more experienced jockeys on one’s side.
