FormscanBy Alan Magee - SUITYOURSELFBOSS has been placed on all three outings since fitted with cheek pieces and upped to a mile at this venue. The Michael Browne-trained mare remains on a lowly mark after filling the runner-up spot twice under Wayne Hassett last month including when coming home well behind Zahee. Topweight Bungle Inthedesert had a number of these rivals behind when second to Ferrybank before successfully stepping up this trip last week, with Adare Beauty just over a length away in third. Feature This gained a fourth course and distance win last month while Comfort Line won twice here over a mile before Christmas and found the extended ten furlongs just too far last time.
