FormscanBy Michael Graham - Devilishly tricky. APRILS JOY could readily bounce back from a below-par effort over hurdles at this track particularly as she has had over a month off since then. Perhaps that outing came too soon after her victory on the Flat in Tramore but, either way, she is a thorough stayer on the level. She won over a mile and six at this track in July last year. Santorini Sun availed of a good ride when winning by four and a half lengths at 50/1 at Navan in May. Several winners have come out of that contest. She has since transferred to Dermot McLoughlin and is returning off a break, but there could be more in her locker. No Trouble was an easy winner over a mile and a half in Dundalk last Friday evening. Seamie Heffernan is back on board and the pair go to war under the 6lb penalty. Franno is holding her form well and is likely to be in there pitching despite the anchor of 10st 2lb.
