FormscanBy Michael Graham - LADY DE VESCI makes plenty of each-way appeal at 10/1. She put in her best performance to date on her last start, over a similar trip, at Navan. Mick Halford's mare came in a never nearer fifth having been 13th at the halfway stage. Gowran also has a stiff finish so she is likely to be doing her best work in the closing stages under Ross Coakley. Royal Admiral has been priced up at 6/4 by the 'cream cookies' based on his second place at Tipperary, where he couldn't reach the winner after starting slowly. He looks plenty short enough as this is his first crack at an extended nine furlongs. He has been slowly away in three of his four starts, so you may get a better price in-running if you fancy him. Lizard Point is a 28-race maiden but this is a track he is more than capable of picking up prize money at. Vitalized's form in Gowran reads 312 with all three appearances over this trip. On her penultimate start, she was backed off the boards here from 20/1 to 5/1 but finished half a length second after attempting to make all. She would be more than interesting, from a good draw in four, if the money comes again. The 9/1 available at the time of writing could look very big come race time. Pedisnap wasn't out of the prize money in six races before finishing ninth at Leopardstown. Shane Crosse's claim will help and she can be given a chance.
