FormscanBy Gary Carson - ELEGANT LASS bumped into a well handicapped rival on her last visit here and is fancied to get into the winners enclosure again. It was a good run to chase home Imperial Choice last time and that rival has franked the form with a impressive win at Ballinrobe since. Top-weight Moonball is a previous course and distance winner and has to be a danger. She won on her return from an absence at Kilbeggan in late June and followed that up with a solid runner-up effort back at that venue last month. Gotta Getaway and Bridge Native are both engaged here on Thursday night so how they perform then will have a big impact on whether they turn out again quickly.
