SCARPETA, who was once rated 151 when trained by Willie Mullis, has been a very long way from that sort of form over hurdles and fences for new connections but won't get a better chance to return to winning ways. Fire Squadron has been very disappointing since a close second in a Fairyhouse maiden last February but testing ground would suit Buzz Light, a winner on heavy going at Ballinrobe last May. Spare Brakes has a bit to find with some of these but at least enters the fray in good form having followed a victory in one of these at Limerick with a good run over fences at Navan. The front-running Grand Revival is best over the minimum trip but still looks better than stable companion Sand Drift.
