FormscanBy Alan Magee - GRANITE BAY won three times last season and has continued to progress this term despite not adding to his tally. The Jarlath Fahey-trained gelding filled the runner-up spot behind Clear Quartz over this trip at Roscommon and again made the frame last time in a valuable 2m handicap at Naas. Narlita has plenty in her favour here in terms of ground, the 1m4f trip and proven ability to handle the track. She gained a deserved win at Gowran last Monday, but the negative is an 8lb rise. Ephesus beat Ehteyat by nearly two lengths over this trip at Roscommon while Rain is another to consider following a course and distance win last month.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards (90 = 10st)Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
