FormscanBy Tom Weekes - DRACONID is winless from six starts and is rated just 72 but contests this winneable race. Well held on his only all-weather start in the Racing League at Newcastle, he is much better suited to soft ground and while well enough held in a Killarney handicap latest, had previously shown useful form in maidens and a Galway festival handicap. Tall Story, in first-time cheek-pieces from stall 1, has also shown useful form in handicaps and is also rated just 72. Beaten just a nose at Killarney recently, he goes well on soft ground which is a positive today, with rain forecast. Newcomer Lofoten is the most notable runner being out of a Group 1 winning mare and is a half-brother to two winners, one being at Listed level. Lofoten could possess smart ability but does make a belated debut and is already gelded. Monteria ran a nice race on debut in an ordinary maiden at Killarney recently and should run well, given he has proven himself on soft and is open to plenty improvement. Equus Deus ran a nice race at Navan in August but was well held at Listowel latest and might ideally prefer a sound surface. Just Let Go, under Colin Keane, has run two sound races this month and can get involved for the placings.
