FormscanBy Michael Graham - MAUD GONNE SPIRIT relished cut in the ground in Galway to score on the opening day of the festival and can go in again. She got 6lb for that victory but may have turned the corner. Trip and ground will be right up her street. Wesley Joyce claims 7lb from Silver Service which puts her on a very handy weight. She ran twice in Ballybrit and signed off there with a never nearer seventh in the Ahonoora Handicap. A good run from the winner of that race, Current Option, in the preceding contest on the card would boost Silver Service's prospects. Petticoat Rule was third to a very in-form winner at Galway. She was overwhelmed inside the final furlong of that extended mile handicap, so the drop back in trip could be advantageous. She is well up in class, but cannot be ruled out as a former course and distance winner.
