FormscanBy Dan McEvoy - Recent third, LILAC LADY can improve once more from her length defeat around Sligo 34 days ago. Purchased for E3,000 at the Goffs Autumn HIT Sale, Mark McNiff’s challenger improved from her stable debut to finish a staying on third. The forward going daughter of Churchill can progress once more and should be on the premises. The standout piece of form in the race comes from Gordon Elliot’s charge Two Become One, who finished a close second to the now 135 rated Win Some Lose Some in May of last year. However, on her return from over a year absence, she was a large drifter in the market beforehand and ran accordingly. Although she should improve from that start, market signals will dictate the strength of her claims. Winning pointer Kilmore Coral along with newcomer Chicago Calling may also have a part to play in the conclusion of this contest.
