FormscanBy Gary Carson - Jordan Gainford is an eye-catching booking for SCARLET AND DOVE and his 7lb claim could be very valuable on this classy mare. She wasn't disgraced in Grade 1 company at Fairyhouse last time having won a Grade 2 contest for mares previously at Limerick. Considering the level she's won at a mark of 140 doesn't look high and Gainford's allowance leaves her on a nice weight. Salsaretta was pulled up in the Irish National last time but had run with plenty of credit when fourth in the Mares Chase at Cheltenham prior to that and back against her own sex she commands respect, particularly given the yard's incredible record at this meeting. Demi Plie ran a cracker when chasing home the classy Elimay at Fairyhouse last time and the handicapper didn't punish her too much with just a 3lb rise. She looks another to consider in a competitive heat.
