FormscanBy Alan Magee - THEOPHILE won twice last season including a maiden over this trip at Fairyhouse and was only pegged back in the closing stages when stepped up to nine furlongs at Leopardstown last time. She still appears on a reasonable mark. Music To My Ears won over a mile at the Curragh and her subsequent head second to Sonaiyla over this trip now reads very well. She’s dropped down a bit in the ratings after failing to hit those heights in three outings this term and may prefer a bit further. Dilawara won twice in France last year including a handicap at Longchamp and was snapped up for 70,000 euro at Arqana over the winter. It will be interesting to see if there is any market confidence in the top-weight on her Irish debut.
