FormscanBy Alan Magee - Three-year-old's have a decent record in this race and perhaps a couple of the light-weights, BELLA BRAZIL and Elizabethofaragon, can fight out the finish. The selection got on top close home to land a Gowran Park maiden and has run well twice since in competitive handicaps also over a mile. She gives the impression this step up in trip should suit. There are no stamina concerns for Elizabethofaragon who relished the move up to a mile and a half when scoring in great style on her handicap debut at Leopardstown earlier this month. She really got on top in the closing stages on that occasion and now races off a 15lb higher mark. Wilderness bids to make it four wins from as many starts this season and can’t be lightly discounted despite an 18lb hike for that run of success, while Slaney East and Blackcatblackitten both won maidens last time out and have scope for further improvement.
