FormscanBy Tom Weekes - WAIT HERE has shown very good progression in recent times and might prove good enough to win today, with conditions in his favour. He comes here in excellent form, is suited by trip and ground and also competes nicely from his 110 rating from a low weight. The Birdie Crowe was well held in Listed company at Limerick in October but should be able to do better in today's race, following a break. She is a capable type and her rider claims a valuable 5lbs but she might prefer a slightly sounder surface. Stablemate Ale Ambrosio is a slightly enigmatic type and while she has been in good form recently and ran well in a useful handicap at Leopardstown over Christmas, isn't helped by being 3lbs 'wrong' at these weights. All Good Things has shown some useful form but has yet to win and might struggle to win this while Chatham Street Lad has as yet failed to build on his promising debut run and now reverts to this trip following his well beaten Thurles run. Bluegrass Princess was pulled up on her latest start and has plenty to prove today.
