FormscanBy Donal Murphy - As a Grade 2 winner, Visionarian sets the standard, but has been disappointing in recent times and is difficult to fancy with any great confidence.

Doing well to peg back the front-running Kilashee at Kilbeggan on her latest start, she had the re-opposing Nt Field Minnesota three-lengths behind. Twice successful from four starts at Thurles over the winter months, That's About Right warrants the utmost respect on his return, while Clarens is another leading hope. An easy winner over the course and distance in April, Lightkeeper is capable of making an impact if putting his best foot forward.
