FormscanBy Donal Murphy - WILD WILD WIND is the suggestion in this weak but competitive affair. She had a far from clear passage when eighth of 22 at Cork recently and was placed in each of her three starts prior to that effort. Hugh Horgan retains the ride on the 80-rated bay and he claims a valuable 5lb. Fourth, eighth and ninth behind Rathbawn Soldier at Naas, Ode To Joy, Finicky Filly and Cry Before Dawn renew rivalries, with the William McLernon-trained former taken to uphold the form. Already twice successful at this venue, Volez Vous is an interesting contender on her debut for Philip Rothwell, while others for the shortlist are Might Be The One, top-weight Bearami Creek and Terence O'Brien's Ellies Rock. Market trends should be watched in regards to the six handicap debutants in the line-up.
