FormscanBy Gary Carson - EFFERNOCK FIZZ may be worth a shot here having been eased 6lb in the recent readjustment of ratings. The Lovelace mare is best when making the running and didn't help herself by missing the kick and having to make up ground early at the Curragh last time. It wasn't a bad run in the end and having dropped a few pounds now she looks on a winnable mark again on the level. Very Excellent has been a bit disappointing over hurdles on his last couple of outings but won here back in March and a return to the venue may ignite a bit of a spark again. Arctic Blaze was a winner last time out at Tipperary and has to be on the short-list despite a 6lb rise for that victory.
