FormscanBy Donal Murphy - With eighteen set to take part, you'd be hopeful that sole reserve FALL FOR A KISS will get a run. An eye-catcher at Limerick when fitted with a hood for the first time, the daughter of Dark Angel went down by just half a length on her next start over the course and distance. She since finished a respectable fourth at Dundalk on Friday and back on turf now she might be able to make the breakthrough. John McConnell saddles both Kudbegood and Max's Dandy, with the former given second preference. Having filled the runner-up spot on his last two starts, the son of Most Improved certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn. Colin Keane is a significant jockey booking on Matilda With Me and she looks to have solid each-way claims, while other leading contenders in this competitive heat are Giorni Felice, recent course and distance winner Tyrion's Dream and Kevin Coleman's Cliffs Of Freedom.
