FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Straight Up holds a healthy rating of 99, but it’s hard to gauge where he’s at after a few lacklustre efforts since landing a maiden on debut last year. Last of five in the Group 3 Derby Trial at Leopardstown in May, he drops in grade but needs to settle better to resume winning ways. MAI DAHLIA made short work of her rivals in a fillies’ maiden at Naas and makes a quick reappearance. She was entered for a Listed contest here later in the week, but this may be a suitable alternative for one lacking experience. Res Ipsa’s easy win at Limerick was in an ordinary maiden, but he’s well bred and could prove progressive. %0A
