FormscanBy Alan Magee - WHAT WONDERS WEAVE reverts to the Flat with good claims in this Lady Riders event. The Shark Hanlon-trained mare has been placed twice recently over hurdles including when finishing strongly at Ballinrobe. She appears to handle soft ground well having won twice at Hamilton in those conditions off a higher mark a few seasons back. The booking of Aine O’Connor is a big plus. Jazz Lady relished soft ground when scoring twice at Galway last autumn and should progress from her reappearance at Roscommon, while Curragh winner Place Des Vosges is another strong contender having backed that victory up with another solid effort at Leopardstown. The front-running Milford Sound appeared to run well above previous form last time when third to Tandem in a Leopardstown amateur riders’ race. The handicapper put him up 20lb as a result, and he reopposes Persian Lion who filled the runner-up spot in that 1m4f event.
