FormscanBy Mark Nunan - LA PRIMA DONNA will be a very short price and can’t be opposed. The French-bred showed promise in maidens before finishing second in a very competitive handicap at Fairyhouse. She didn’t quite match that at Punchestown but her staying-on fifth to the well-fancied Camprond is also rock-solid form and this longer trip is unlikely to be a problem. The only possible fly in the ointment is Henry de Bromhead’s Still Ciel who makes her racecourse debut after winning a point-to-point in November. She’s a half-sister to Grade 1-winnning hurdler Skyace and could be decent. What An Ocean, runner-up in a Tramore maiden on her second start over flights, may prove best of the rest.
