Formscan By Michael Graham - DEVORE could exploit a light weight. She attracted support in Leopardstown before keeping on well to be a never nearer fourth over 1m1f. The way she ran there, she should enjoy this new trip. Jarlath Fahey's stable is in form and his Boher Road was tough off the front in winning at Navan. Forcing tactics are likely to be deployed again and his chance is greatly respected. Eastern Legend has been a beaten favourite in two of his last three appearances, but wasn't beaten far while Hutton Glen has been placed in three maidens and is one to note on handicap debut. Sea The Stars filly Bella Nebula is the potential fly in the ointment on handicap debut with first-time cheekpieces and a tongue-strap. She drops back in trip after unplaced runs in Leopardstown and Tramore, and market support would be significant.
