Formscan By Alan Magee - PALMEIRA (8) is still a maiden after 15 starts but was placed in a Listed race at Newbury last year and again showed plenty of promise in similar company for the Eve Johnson Houghton yard this season. The daughter of Havana Grey has raced mainly over 5f but may finally open her account with Colin Keane a significant booking. Otsana kept on nicely when placed over the minimum trip at Down Royal last month and may be ideally suited by this distance. Firewalker shaped well on his Irish debut over course and distance last month and rates a threat along with Monmouth and Emiza.
