FormscanBy Mark Nunan - A typically tricky early-season three-year-old handicap with more than half of these stepping out of maiden company for the first time. Off bottom-weight and representing a stable in form, BALANCE OF TRADE could go well after showing potential in a couple of nurseries on testing ground. His best effort was when beaten less than two lengths on his second-last start at Gowran, where his finishing effort over seven furlongs would give rise to hopes that he may see out this trip. Elm Creek and Accelereight both wear first-time headgear on handicap debut and represent respected yards, while Dreoilin has the benefit of a recent run where she stayed on over six furlongs in a Curragh maiden. %0A
