FormscanBy Mark Nunan - LITTERATUS had Surac back in fifth when second in an all-aged handicap at Tipperary. She’s a relatively exposed eleven-race maiden but that was a creditable effort and she’s likely to be ridden handy again on this occasion over a furlong shorter. Butterfly Garden was pipped over an extended 1m1f at Ballinrobe and ran another solid race when beaten less than two lengths at Naas. An in-form claimer negates her cumulative 5lb rise but her stamina for this trip is a slight concern. Top weight Rock Of Candy should stay and is better than she showed when behind Butterfly Garden at Naas. A return to the form of her previous placed efforts would see her go close. Alice Diamond, fitted with headgear for the first time, finished in front of the selection when fifth at Limerick and is another for the shortlist.
