FormscanBy Donal Murphy - ARCTIC BLAZE was an eye-catcher on her most recent start at Leopardstown and she might be able to make the breakthrough now. She came from off the pace to finish fourth at the Foxrock venue and had some useful sorts in behind. Siobhan Rutledge again takes the ride on the daughter of Roderic O'Connor and with just eight stone six to carry, a bold bid looks likely. Arcland has been frustrating to follow, but he would be a deserving winner having filled the runner-up spot on his last two starts. Sil Ver Klass beat Arcland when they clashed at Navan and he re-opposes now with Dylan Browne McMonagle taking over in the saddle. Recent hurdles winner Molly Kaye is likely to have supporters, while others for the shortlist are Leopardstown runner-up Call Me Dolly, the consistent Ally Cay and Grace To Grace.
