FormscanBy Donal Murphy - UNE LAVANDIERE will appreciate all the forecast rain, and she might be able to follow-up on her recent Listowel success here. The Noel Meade trained six-year-old is a real mudlark, and needs testing conditions to be seen at her best. She won her maiden hurdle on soft to heavy at Killarney in May, with her Listowel victory coming on heavy ground. Sir Abbot is the highest rated runner in the line-up, and it'll be interesting to see how he gets on. He has won around Clonmel before, and ran well to finish second on his return to action at Kilbeggan earlier this month. A Sizing Network has been knocking on the door of late, and another good run can be expected from him, while others to consider are Burndown and Na Trachtalai Abu.
