FormscanBy Tom Weekes - PIER PRESSURE has an excellent all-weather record but might now successfully revert to turf. His initial maiden tries were on grass and while his Dundalk record is much better, he might merely have matured last winter and being lightly-raced and somewhat unexposed, it is notable he reappears on a big weekend. Benavente is himself a capable all-weather performer and also reverts to turf. He can be forgiven some of his early career runs on unsuitably soft ground but nonetheless has yet to prove himself as effective on good, although being race-fit is a positive. Expressova is progressing well and won in a first-time hood last month, although is now 8lb higher.
