FormscanBy Mark Nunan - THE FOLKES TIARA got very tired over 3m at Wexford last month and is better judged on his previous effort over 2m4f at Killarney. He was caught in the final stride on that occasion and had two subsequent maiden winners behind him in third and fourth. The former point-to-point winner has the rating to win this if restored to that kind of form. Will You Win gets 10lb from the selection and has plenty of experience to draw upon. She was runner-up in a similar contest at Downpatrick in May and was a fair fourth over fences last time. Bella Union, related to plenty of winning jumpers including his prolific stablemate Go Another One, wasn’t beaten far in two bumpers in Britain in the spring and merits respect on hurdling debut.
