Formscan By Dan McEvoy - Course winner STRAIGHT HOME (8) can take a step forward from her chasing debut, when she finished third behind two smart rivals after over a year off the track. The four-time winner was unable to match them, but that experience is a huge plus, and she holds strong claims, especially with Sean Cleary Farrell's 7lb allowance. Carried With Love has joined Jonathan Sweeney from Joseph O'Brien and makes her chasing debut over a longer trip, which should suit, although she is returning from a 222-day layoff, so she may just come forward for this run. Affinity Rock was slightly disappointing last time when beaten as favourite, but she does have a lot of chasing experience and is the pace angle here.
