Formscan By Dan McEvoy - NELLCOTE (7) is chosen to double her tally in this competitive contest. The three-year-old daughter of Sottsass won a Limerick maiden on her second start and improved again when second on handicap debut, beating the reopposing Navy Waters by a short head. She is the pick of the yard's trio and may be able to portray her staying qualities. Navy Waters won this race last year off 11lbs lower and has been running well in defeat since. A 2lb pull from their latest meeting gives her every chance of challenging the selection again. Stellar Moment finished half a length behind Nellcote in a maiden before winning a similar contest at Galway. She will be staying on and holds strong each-way claims.
