FormscanBy Donal Murphy - While recent Limerick winner Dolly Watkins will understandably be a popular choice with punters, it might be worth taking a chance on handicap debutant LAKEWOOD ROSE. While her recent form figures of '666' might discourage some, her latest effort came in a 21 runner contest, where she made some encouraging late headway. Owned, trained and ridden by Niamh Hennessy, the 99-rated eight-year-old is in against her own sex now and should be able to make an impact in a contest of this quality. Placed three times in succession before disappointing on her latest start at Fairyhouse, Yoursimplythebest warrants respect, while the returning Turkey And Ham, Clonmel runner-up Might Be The One and dual winner Lady Bluebird (first time blinkers) are others of interest.
