FormscanBy Mark Nunan - LILY LIGHT FOOT ran well on her return from nine months off when second over a similar trip here a fortnight ago and her conqueror that day, Building Bridges, bids to frank that form in the previous contest. The Harty-trained mare was consistent last summer when her form included a runner-up berth over 3m1f at Kilbeggan and she can make the breakthrough now under her regular jockey. The trainer of Strong Roots was amongst the winners at Killarney this week and the 10-year-old mare, who hasn’t had much racing, has made the frame in both starts after a winter break. She was only beaten a little over two lengths at Cork earlier this month. Toor Hawk ran poorly last time but some of her maiden form was quite good and her fourth in a handicap at Cork in March was a decent effort.
