FormscanBy Mark Nunan - NAWRAQ was rated a lot higher as a two-year-old after showing plenty of ability in maidens. Having totally lost his way, he bounced back to form when second to a subsequent winner over CD in November and 1m4f may not have suited last time. Blinkers are tried for just a second time. Dark Street's most recent win was by far the easiest of the three he has gained over CD. A 7lb hike does not seem unjust but a strong gallop to aim at is said to be what he needs, so he's a hostage to fortune in that respect. Moondharrig likes to race prominently and, although he just hung on when successful over CD last month, that will afford a tactical advantage to Eoin Doyle's charge. Tara Power did well to finish a close second after blowing the start over a mile last time but he hasn't quite got home in previous outings over this far. Gentle Breath has run creditably in maidens and should be capable of being competitive off an opening mark of 62.
