Formscan By Alan Magee - PLAYIN COOL (6) appears best on a soft surface having won a Leopardstown maiden last backend and when narrowly denied at the same venue in June. The selection shaped well last time when staying on into fifth behind Loughrea in the Irish Cambridgeshire and Pierre Royal (third) gave that form a timely boost on Saturday. Daler has proved a model of consistency this year including when winning on soft ground at Leopardstown, while Karrygrant tackles handicap company for the first time following a list of placed efforts in maidens.
