Formscan By Michael Graham - The way TOMMY THUG stayed on well for second over a similar trip on soft ground at Leopardstown last week bodes well for this assignment. He should appreciate this slightly longer trip. Golden Spangle has plenty of experience to call upon having been placed on six of her 12 outings. She is up in distance in a bid to grab that elusive victory and has stronger claims than most. Rhodesia has finished mid-division in two Curragh maidens and represents a shrewd stable. Nakassama was only beaten by a neck on debut in a Fairyhouse claimer and could build upon that having switched to James McAuley. Luke Comer's Brave Thought is also up in trip after an opening fifth in Dundalk and he also introduces Shall I Walk who is related to a couple of winners.
