FormscanBy Michael Graham - Paddy Twomey's ROSSCARBERY won this race last year and may repeat the feat. She has to give weight away to the field which will take a bit of doing, but her class will help. The form of her fifth place in a Group 1 at Ascot last October is working out very well. The winner has since landed the Group 1 Coronation Cup while the third reappeared this season to win a Group 3 in the Curragh. The horse a place behind Rosscarbery in sixth has been successful in a Group 3 and in a Listed race. Rosscarbery has won off a break before. Twomey also saddles Final Gesture who was impressive in taking a Listed race by five lengths in Gowran Park last month. That was her Irish debut after winning twice in France. She has the race-fitness advantage on her stablemate. This trip, better ground and first-time blinkers could elicit a big run from Library. Her dam actually won this race in 2015. Azazat was very good in Leopardstown and will welcome the forecast rain. None of the remainder can be ruled out with confidence.
