PREVIEW
This preview is for members only...
FERNS LOCK may have lost his unbeaten record in the Joseph Oreilly Memorial last spring, but with six consecutive wins to his name, including a Tetretema Cup, he sets the standard ahead of what will be his first start in an open lightweight. Focus Point claimed a number of big-name scalps when blazing a trail from the front at Tinahely two weeks ago, and whilst he is also entered at Tattersalls, he would be a big threat if lining up here. Jay Bee Why and Wowsham were closely matched at Portrush, whilst Screaming Colours is one of three former national winners in this for what could be his return to the pointing fields.
