Formscan By Donal Murphy - A weak affair and it's difficult to be overly confident about any of these. Pallas Athene is a point-to-point winner and has the form in the book to win a race of this standard, however she is on a retrieval mission having flopped badly on her most recent start at Clonmel. Similar comments apply to the twice placed Penelope's Charm, who finished ninth of nine when last seen in a Limerick bumper. While also hard to support with any great confidence, it might be worth siding with JOKERS 'N' CLOWNS, who is another point-to-point victor in the line-up. She gained no fans by her pre-race antics at Navan last weekend, unseating Keith Donoghue as the tape was released. Now tried in a first time hood, the Jet Away five-year-old might be able to redeem herself. Sadies Diamond, Diamond Nora and Shanlaylin, who is a sister to five-time winning stable companion Drop The Anchor, are others of note.
